Perhaps they also need some people who know about rape, abortion and pregnancy. Might save them from ignorant and stupid rants from their

One of the most amusing post-election things I read was a tweet from
Alec Baldwin:

"You know your party is in trouble when people ask did the rape guy win,
and you have to ask which one?"

Well the rape guys both lost, but it's rather amazing how many votes
they did get. Akin got 1,063,698 votes. Mourdock got 1,126,727 votes.
Don't these voters have daughters, wives, nieces, sisters, etc.?

While both of them had rape and abortion in their answers- Akin's
comments were the height of ignorance, but Mourdock's were considered,
respectful and honest. If I was pro-life, I would have to agree
with Mourdock. I'm not-- but I can still respect him for the way he
feels. Listen to the whole answer to the question.

Both were 'playing to their base' -- fortunately for our side-- their
base isn't big enough.
