In their fist debate of the 2012, in Columbia, election Todd Atkins demurred, McCaskill pounced and Libertarian Jonathan Dine got off the best zinger...
Speaking of Akin Dine said...
“He sits on the science committee yet he fails to understand basic 8th grade biology.”If any are unaware of the dynamics of this race, McCaskill's Senate seat was pretty much considered toast until her hand picked opponent "Tea-Party Todd" said in an interview with a St. Louis TV station that victims of “legitimate” rape rarely become pregnant because their bodies are able to “shut that whole thing down.” He used the medically incorrect claim to defend his belief that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances.
Since that remark Akin has bled support , so much so that today intrade gives him only a 32.1% chance of winning.
