The fake indian is already running ads here wrapping this Akin guy around Scott Brown. It doesn't take much to give Dems weeks of ammunition.

Re: Arkin Cavuto just had Artur Davis on. For those who don't recall, Davis is a black former Congressman from Alabama. He seconded Obama's nomination at the 2008 Democratic Convention. He switched parties this year and is supporting Romney and Ryan and will be speaking at the Convention. Cavuto asked Davis about Arkin and he distilled why the guy's comments are so offensive. His point was, no matter where you fall on the right to life spectrum, Arkin's comments were disrespectful of women and suggested that they have some control in a rape situation that prevents them from becoming pregnant. He also remarked that the Missouri Senate race could well be the race that puts the Republicans in the majority in the Senate and it would be a tragedy if Arkin stays in the race and loses. The fact that McCaskill is supporting him to stay in the race is all we need to know. FWIW, Davis is a bright, articulate guy. I'm looking forward to watching his speech at the Convention.
