Could Akin cause a loss for GOP in Colorado?

Just under the wire Person-hood backers have taken enough signatures to get that amendment on the ballot this election.

Could this Akin thing, cause a loss of Colorado for the GOP? I think it could.

If anything it will bring more GOP to the polls. They don't need Akin. A lot of people in Colorado believe that dogwhistle shit.

twice before, Ken Buck lost because of this same absurd stance. The crazies exist here, but we still outnumber them. I think this would have a reverse effect. GOP candidates are already distancing themselves from this amendment...talk about bad timing.
