Yes, Akin said something which sounds absurd, and the liberals hyperventilated.

Even many Republicans hyperventilated about it.

Yep. He said something really stupid and I'll admit I was among the Republicans who hyperventilated about it. Yet in my heart I knew that there was no realistic chance at this time to replace him with someone else and I also knew that if I lived in Missouri, I'd still vote for him regardless of the extremely moronic comment he made.

Hope he pulls it off and I hope the idiocy "legitimate rape" never again leaves his lips. And I hope conservative candidates learn a valuable lesson from this. It's all too easy to hobble a campaign by putting your foot in your mouth.

Legitimate rape is defined in the AP (Associated Press) style book. Used by journalists for conformity.
