Maybe Republicans should stop talking about rape?

Why did they ever bring it up to begin with?

Romney has campaigned for this guy and just released a TV ad with Mitt speaking to the camera endorsing him.

He didn't say that it can be. He said that it is something that God intended to happen.

I think you'll be able to add Indiana to Colorado, Delaware, Missouri and Nevada where Republicans shot themselves in the foot. That is 5 Senate seats they should have won!

Donelly is beyond lucky this cycle. Everything aside from Mourdock declaring he is a Nazi has been done now for this seat to go to the Dems.

Mourdock will still be favored to win - a lot of Hoosier's probably agree with this statement, honestly.

Missouri is probably just as conservative, if not more, than Indiana now, and it didn't fly here (I live in Missouri now, I'm just to embarrassed to change my avatar).

Did the Republicans really just hand us ANOTHER seat in the Senate?

I hope Donnelly manages to carpetbomb him on this the way McCaskill did. With only 2 weeks left, spin is all that matters.

Seriously, Mourdock? Seriously? You get an all-but-safe seat to run for and decide the best way to handle it would be to say something worse than Akin's now-legendary stupidity?

Now, luckily for him, Donnelly is damn near just as backwards as he is when it comes to abortion, so I doubt he's going to exploit it nearly to the level McCaskill managed to pull off. Still, I'm feeling pretty goddamn justified in my endorsement of Boneham right about now.

The DSCC strategy in every Senate election for the rest of time should be to somehow coax an opinion on rape from the Republican opponent.

No, he'll probably lose now. Indiana isn't Alabama. You guys voted for Obama in '08 for crying out loud...

I hesitate to make any predictions, but I do think this gives some Lugar supporters who were staying undecided a reason to not vote for Mourdock.

I find it interesting that while the Presidental race tightens up, the odds of the Republicans making gains in the Senate lessen.  Anyone else notice that?

And we also voted for Coats over Ellsworth in 2010...by 15 points. Time will tell - this will close the gap, but I don't think this will cost Mourdock the election, sadly.

Horning, you mean. He isn't too bad - just keeps talking about how bad the two-party system is in America.

Why not say who you voted for already?

There's a reason there are private ballots. I'll likely let it slip at some point, but this gaffe just further proves what an awful array of candidates there was to choose from. There are a lot of Democrats and Republicans out there I'd rather have than these two.
