Paul Ryan And Todd Akin Will Both Appear At "Values Voter Summit"

[powergirl]

I can't imagine what the audience at the "Value Voter Summit" will be like. Time to put on the HazMat suit.

"They won’t share a stage, but Paul Ryan and Rep. Todd Akin will share the same spotlight at the Values Voter Summit this week.

"The summit is sponsored by Akin’s most prominent remaining supporter, the Family Research Council. And with the annual confab only days away, FRC President Tony Perkins said his group is not about to keep its star candidate away from its signature event.

"Ryan speaks Friday on the Values Voter main stage. Akin won’t get the same honor, Perkins told an audience at the National Press Club Wednesday, but he will make more than one appearance.

"That sets up a potentially awkward situation for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. Though Ryan and Akin both share the view that abortion should be outlawed even in the case of rape or incest, Ryan condemned Akin’s “legitimate rape” comments and joined Romney and much of the GOP establishment in calling on Akin to drop out of the Missouri Senate race."

I can't wait to hear his recap of their statements.

I have to say, though, I'm starting to feel really sorry for all those GOP candidates, going down in flames so dramatically, so publicly.

Reality is a hard mistress.
