I was wondering when someone from the evangelical pro-life base would come to Akin's defense against the Mormon and Catholic ticket trying to force him out of the race. Huckabee is as big a deal as it comes. Notice the language of evangelical pro-life insecurity in the GOP:
If Todd Akin loses the Senate seat, I will not blame Todd Akin. He made his mistake, but was man enough to admit it and apologize. I'm waiting for the apology from whoever the genius was on the high pedestals of our party who thought it wise to not only shoot our wounded, but run over him with tanks and trucks and then feed his body to the liberal wolves. It wasn't just Todd Akin that was treated with contempt by the thinly veiled attack on Todd Akin. It was all the people who have faithfully knocked doors, made calls, and made sacrificial contributions to elect Republicans because we thought we were welcome in the party. Todd Akin owned his mistake. Who will step up and admit the effort being made to discredit Akin and apologize for the sleazy way it's been handled?
Huckabee knows the base and they trust him. I think they trust Romney a little less now, and cooler heads in the GOP should probably try to move on, rather than keep hounding a man who just inelegantly expressed what the party platform supports.
