GOP worried about Senate chances - candidate challenges, primary scars

[Justice]

"One GOP strategist watching the Senate race closely, who like others interviewed for this article requested anonymity to speak more openly about internal deliberations, said that “there are massive problems on the candidate front.” The Republican likened the situation to 2010 and 2012, when the party fell short of winning the Senate majority because of undisciplined and polarizing candidates "

Illegitimate comments

Todd Akin, a member of the House of Representatives and Republican Senate nominee for Missouri, made the now notorious claim during an interview in which he attempted to explain his no-exceptions policy in regard to abortion. In reference to pregnancy resulting from rape, Akin told KTVI-TV: "First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that is really rare." He continued: "If it is a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try and shut that whole thing down."

How not to refer to rape

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan rapidly distanced themselves from Akin. But it wasn't long before Ryan tripped up on the same topic. Responding in another interview on the same topic he made the magnificent blunder of referring to rape as a "method of conception". As recent history has taught us, it was all downhill from there for the Republican campaign.

Bind your language

Speaking of Republicans, Romney has his fair share of unfortunate statements about women. He ran into a verbal minefield while explaining his position on hiring women during a presidential debate against Barack Obama on October 16. Boasting of his efforts to find women to hire, he dropped the phrase "binders of women" in reference to his stockpile of possible candidates while in office. It was the stuff meme dreams are made of. "I went to a number of women's groups and said 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women."

5. I believe that Democrats will net gain the 2 more senators that we need,

in this election.

I'm more worried about what happens with the house, but the most recent polls now show things moving in our direction, at least.
Turnout will be key.
