>>> the side show the morning after. the common thread in this lineup of congressmen and women? joe west and alan walsh lost their bid and todd akin lost against claire mccaskill . west has yet to concede. nbc news projects his challenger patrick murphy will come out on top. here's a way they left their mark, including one from "hardball" itself.

>> we need to let president obama , harry reid , nancy pelosi and my dear friend, the chairman of the democratic national committee , take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the intentrepreneurial will of the american people take it somewhere else, to the bottom of the sea, to the north pole , but get the hell out of the united states of america .

>> first of all from what i understand from doctors it's really rare. fitz a legitimate rape, a female body has a way to shut that thing down.
