If you haven't seen this short clip, then you're just not paying attention. Todd Akin, our newly minted Senate candidate from Missouri just made beating Claire McCaskill a little bit harder. Until today, Todd Akin could have spent the rest of the cycle in the Bahamas and still beaten McCaskill, but NOOOOOOOOOO, this nitwit makes some DUMBASS comments about rape. RAPE!
It reminds me of the episode of "Frasier" when Frasier holds a successful fundraiser for a candidate and upon completion the candidate tells the tale about the time he was abducted by aliens. The look on Kelsey Grammer's face was priceless. Todd Akin could've recovered if he'd told the tale of an alien anal probe. He could've said he was joking. But there's no walking back this crap.
It is terribly annoying to agree with someone on the checklist of issues only to find they've got their head up their ass. Do you think Claire McCaskill will get full campaign coffers off of this? Even if he does win, can we be proud of this?

Obama and Convention No-Shows: Divorce or Amicable Separation?
From: Alex Roarty - NationalJournal.com
If historical precedent is a guide, President Obama should be worried about the recent spate of Democrats who have declared that they won’t attend their own party’s national convention. But the lawmakers’ decision to stay home doesn’t have other Democrats reaching for the panic button yet.
Such defections amounted to an early alarm bell as recently as 2008, when a deluge of Republicans steered clear of the Republican National Convention lest they be associated with a then-deeply unpopular GOP.
Three months later, a Democratic wave swept the White House and congressional elections.
Now Democrats are the ones abandoning ship. Already five House members -- Mark Critz of Pennsylvania, Kathy Hochul and Bill Owens of New York, Nick Rahall of West Virginia, and Jim Matheson of Utah –- have joined Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Jon Tester of Montana, and Claire McCaskill of Missouri in deciding that they won’t attend this year’s Democratic National Convention.
