Did I tell you that I DID vote for Romney....that only because of Benghazi, not because I changed my mind on Romney.

I figured there was no way he would have let those men die without a rescue attempt as Obama had so obviously done. And recent testimony proves that the chain from CJCS all the way to zerO himself were lying and conniving all along.

Back to Akin and Rove,though.

Here’s the bottom line for me.

In any after action review, it is important to be honest about all that went wrong, so that all the necessary lessons learned are on file for future reference.

1. Was Akin’s comment wrong? Yes...no doubt about it.

2. Would it have been nice to have a replacement in the wings? Yes, it would have been. (BTW, I read someplace at the time that a primary defeated candidate might not have been eligible under Missouri law to be a replacement. I’ve never read if that’s true or not.)

3. Was the Republican establishment, led by Rove, counter-productive to join the feeding frenzy? Yes...I have no doubt.

If we walk away from this ignoring that last lesson learned, then we walk away from this unprepared for the future because we’re allowing personal opinion to cloud our judgment.

A media cover up that continues today. Had they not done so, then moved on to praising him for his incredibible bravery and competence for saving everyone during the hurricane aftermath, Bambi loses.

If we cannot figure out how to neutralize the media, we are all toast, it's unfathomable what they get away with.

It's the media that prevents your strategy from working, we couldn't have gotten away with coming together around a (self) damaged candidate, it's just not possible to get away with what the dems do until the media is changed.

Akin, who is running for U.S. Senate against incumbent Claire McCaskill, has until Tuesday at 5 p.m. to withdraw without a court order, according to Missouri election law. That law allows candidates to leave the ballot 11 weeks before election day, otherwise he would need a court order, which he can get up until Sept. 25. The Republican state committee would have two weeks to name a replacement, under the law.

A party nominating committee of a political party may select a party candidate for nomination to an office on the primary election ballot ... without restriction on whether they ran in the primary or not.

I agree with all 3 points, and would only add that I for one have never NOT realized #3.

I also think you are correct about the technicalities over point 2, about defeated primary candidates, though that was not the main issue. That could have been over come.

In fact ,speaking of point 3:
