Todd Akin: “No comment.”

I hope you aren't trying to pretend that would be the end of it because most FReepers aren't little children and know better than think that would end right there.

I was being facetious.

Of course it isn’t going to end right there.

That’s why Pro-life candidates ought to think carefully regarding a response that does not damage them like it did Todd Akin or Richard Murdock.

Believe me — IT WILL BE BROUGHT UP (whether they lie it or not ). In fact, any taped statements they made in the past will be dug up and played on TV and radio and used in ads against them.

So, in regards to the title of this thread -— NOPE, GOP CANDIDATES WON’T BRING IT UP, BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW WHEN IT *IS* BROUGHT UP AS IT INEVITABLY WILL?

This GOP pollster did not give an answer to this.

How about "I'm 100% pro-life in all circumstances. Period. End. Let's move on." It wasn't their pro-life stances that doomed Akin and Mourdock. It was needlessly pontificating about half-baked magic uterus theories and "gift from God" proclimations that gave their opponents the sound bites they were looking that sealed their fates.
