I got a  face when I heard how vehemently his opponent, Claire McCaskill, was defending Akin and his "apology" today. Sure, I bet she would LOVE to have him insist on staying in the race and who could blame her!
What an IDIOT Akin is. He is only sorry that he opened his stupid mouth and let his true beliefs spill out. Wonder how long he will last with the RNC pulling their funding. I bet even his mother is pissed off at him.

There was a post on FB telling people to donate 10 bucks to her campaign in response to Akin's stupidity. I said I'm not gonna blindly support "the other guy"--I need to read up on her first and make sure she's not worse!
Even if she was awful (I'm sure she's not), she pretty much has this race on lock now.

From the Michelangelo Signorile show on SiriusXM OutQ earlier this year
Republican State Senator from Tennessee, Stacey Campfield
"Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community -- it was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with men. It was an airline pilot, if I recall. My understanding is that it is virtually, not completely, but virtually impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex."

LA times just did an article on this -
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics...2.photogallery
Still - worst one of all times had to be Clayton Williams (R) when he ran against Ann Richards for governor (circa 1990). (on seeing a beautiful sunset)" Rape is like a Sunset - you cant do anything about it - so you might as well lay back and enjoy it."

So why is Akin still in the race?
http://theweek.com/article/index/232...out-6-theories
QUOTE: "Most East Coast journalists and politicos I've spoken with cannot fathom how Todd Akin could possibly remain a candidate" in Missouri's U.S. Senate race, says former Missouri lawmaker Jeffrey Smith at Salon. After all, every Republican official from presidential aspirant Mitt Romney on down has urged him to drop out following his infamous comments about the pregnancy-stifling powers of "legitimate rape." The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and GOP super PAC Crossroads GPS have even said they'll pull their millions in funding from the race if he remains the candidate. But looking at the situation from Akin's point of view, and knowing his history, his decision to defy his party and keep on challenging Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) makes more sense. Here, six reasons Akin is still in the race after Tuesday's deadline to withdraw without court permission — and why he may well be in it for the long haul:UNQUOTE.

My thoughts exactly.
ETA: Gabrielle Union (rape survivor) and panel of women react to the term "legitimate rape."

^I didn't think any explanation would be needed on GC, but your vs. you're.
He sure does know how to use the wrong words in the wrong way.
