• W253775565 abstract "There was time after the 2012 U.S. Senatorial primary elections in Missouri and Indiana that many thought Republicans Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock would win their general elections in November--Akin in Missouri and Mourdock in Indiana. Those thoughts, though, were short-lived. In August, Akin tried explain his stance on abortion St. Louis television reporter by saying, If it's legitimate rape, the female body has ways try shut that whole thing down ... think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought be of the rapist, and not attacking the child (Eligon & Schwirtz, 2012). Legitimate rape? Is there such thing? That is what many Missouri voters were asking themselves as they pondered, Did Akin really say that? Two months later, Mourdock appeared on televised debate and answered question regarding abortion in cases of rape or incest. He said, I came realize that life is that gift from God. And, think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended happen (Republican Candidate Defends ..., 2012)--another rhetorical snafu that had Hoosier residents scratching their heads. Akin's and Mourdock's comments went viral on social media as well as in broadcast and newspaper reports resulting in mixed opinions from the public (both candidates later apologized for their statements). Yet, the two men remained in their respective races. The phrase, Loose lips might sink ships, was coined by the U.S. Office of War Information in its attempt to limit the possibility of people inadvertently giving useful information enemy spies during World War II Phrase Finder). Since then, this loose-tongued rhetoric has come take on various meanings, including that of irresponsible speech. Mistakes seldom arise when sound bites, without scripts, are uttered on television or radio. These statements do not become misquotes in newspapers. They are the actual vocal transmissions of those speaking. They are not manipulated utterances. It is often difficult for those who have made these statements correct themselves without notice. Once broadcast audiences have heard remark, the words typically are etched in stone. Even when the deliverer of the message insists, What meant say, he finds it problem recant and fully recover. This essay examines the campaigns of Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock and argues that the broadcast and socially mediated rhetoric of both candidates cost the two their respective elections. Past Performances Over the years, speeches, interviews, and other rhetoric have contributed the downfall of prominent politicians. In 1973, President Richard Nixon went on national television and uttered the words, I'm not crook, when referring his role in the Watergate scandal and allegations that he profited from his public service (Kilpatrick, 1973). Nixon resigned from office before impeachment proceedings could begin. When his successor Gerald Ford gave Nixon a preemptive pardon for any and all of his Watergate crimes (Fulsom, 2012, p. 168), the former president was off the hook for good. However, that action cost Ford dearly. Many Americans insisted the pardon ended Ford's chances for re-election the presidency in 1976 History Place). Jimmy Carter defeated Ford in the next election. In 1987, Colorado Senator Gary Hart was the front-runner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. When the media confronted Hart with allegations of womanizing, he told them, Follow me around ... it will be boring (The Gary Hart Story). When The Miami Herald accepted Hart's invitation and discovered that he had spent the night with model Donna Rice, the candidate dropped out of the race (Gary Hart and Donna Rice). One year after Hart's departure, another candidate seeking the Democratic presidential nomination made rhetorical blunder that led negative outcome. …" @default.
