Hi Cactus Flower,
After today, Rep. Akin might have tipped the scales for November.
Not only should Sen. Claire McCaskill maintain her seat & then the dem's should hold the Senate.
This issue also puts the spotlight on flip-flop Muffin & rigid anti abortion (under any circumstances) Ryan.
Yet, today, once again Romney flips & claims he & Ryan support raped women having the choice of abortion.
Democrats target Paul Ryan on women's issues

Ryan has earned a perfect rating from the National Right to Life Committee for his votes during his 14 years in Congress. The National Abortion Rights Action League tallied 59 votes that Ryan took on abortion-related bills. On each measure, he voted against abortion rights.
"I'm as pro-life as a person gets," Ryan told The Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine, in 2010.
Shortly after the formal announcement of Ryan's selection on Aug. 11, Obama's team tweeted that Ryan would ban abortions even in cases of rape and incest and had sponsored a bill that would outlaw some forms of birth control. The Democratic campaign emailed female supporters to stress Ryan's record on women's issues, including his vote against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the first bill Obama signed when he took office.
When Ryan made his Colorado debut Tuesday, a liberal activist group flew a banner above the high school where he was speaking. The banner read, in part, "Choose me, lose choice." On Friday, the Obama campaign launched a television ad blasting Ryan's abortion record.
