The Guardian: Mourdock: I gained votes after rape remarks

Mourdock said on Thursday that his popularity had been unaffected by the fallout. Asked about voters who might not vote for him because of the remarks, Mourdock said: “I haven’t heard of those voters,” the Indianapolis Star reported.


When Mourdock was given an example of one voter who had, in fact, stopped supporting him, he said: “I assured all women that the issue of rape is a serious issue. It is not one that my God condones. If anyone thinks that I would condone that, that’s a ludicrous point of view.”

Asked if his campaign had gained votes after the abortion comment, the Star said Mourdock replied: “I know we did.”
