Josh Mandel (Sherrod's Opponent) Wants To Be A Senator (Pathetic Answer on Mourdock, Rape)

Watch, particularly, around the 30 second mark.

I may have never seen anything like this in politics before.

Mandel is apparently so embarrassed by his own position that he can't even voice his position out loud.

I have seen candidates with more poise running for grade school president.

I'd push this clip anywhere and everywhere - I think it summarizes an inadequate candidacy.

The guy already has a problem with looking like a high schooler - I've seen middle schoolers show more poise in the Principal's Office!

The clip seriously blows my mind. Either he's that uncomfortable with his own position or that's his position and he knows how unpopular a position it is - it's just crazy.

On the optics, alone, I found it stunning.
