BUH-BYE!!- Josh Mandel: Mourdock’s A ‘Class Act’!- OH GOP Nominee BEAR HUGS His Indiana Counterpart





While national Republicans have done their best to shore up Indiana Senate nominee Richard Mourdock after his statements on rape, conception and God’s will, many Republicans in tight Senate races have backed away from Mourdock’s comments, trying to keep the negative headlines that have followed Mourdock’s statements out of their races.


But the Republican nominee for Senate in Ohio, Josh Mandel, has taken a very different approach. He’s given Mourdock a big ol’ bear hug. Ahead of Thursday’s debate between Mandel and incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown, Democrats say they plan to make Mourdock a big topic on stage.


“I would bet it will,” Brown spokesperson Sadie Weiner told TPM when asked whether Mandel’s handling of Mourdock will come up in the debate. Mandel is unafraid to embrace Mourdock, despite the controversy surrounding him.


“Listen, I’ve gotten to know Richard [Mourdock] because we’re both state treasurers and — we’re treasures in states next door to each other,” Mandel told radio host Laura Ingraham Thursday. “He’s a gentleman. He’s a class act. He’s a thoughtful guy. He’ll make a great United States Senator.”

Will pull mine down.

Mitt must be seething. The last thing he needed was the ticket on the Ohio ballot just below his to go full tilt for the rapey guy.

Edit to add: another who believes rape is all part of God's plan. Hey Ohio, are you listening?

He probably wants to be the first Jewish President...

His family is loaded and they spread it around.

I once talked to him,when I ran into him delivering mail on my route. He is an arrogant little turd! We talk about him in our Vet group,no one likes,nor are they voting for him! That is 12 votes for Senator Brown!

know, claim that God actually speaks to them and therefore, they claim to know what God wants. These people need to be voted out of every position of power in American politics so that this madness (their religious views especially), cannot be legislated and forced upon the rest of us. This is all so sick I can't even believe it's happening.
