Question: Did Rove, Hannity, Coulter, Palin, etc., support Akin before he made his booboo? Did they support him in the primary?

I’m guessing that all this consternation about Akin’s inartful comment is the chance to get rid of Akin because he won’t be controlled by the Republican establishment. The last thing the Establishment wants in the Senate is a Senator who is not afraid to say “no” to the Establishment, or who is an independent thinker.

Haven’t we all be looking for a leader who can’t be pushed around by the vested powers of the Establishment? who is not afraid to say “no” even to his potential President and Vice President?

As for losing the race in Missouri: where are the anti-abortionists going to go? Are they going to vote for the abortionist candidate because the anti-abortionist made a stupid comment?

I think you guys who are pushing for Akin to withdraw should get ready for what you are going to say when Akin comes up with a Chic-Fil-A-type response in the election. You won’t be eating chicken; you’ll be eating crow!

I believe that's a big no and another big no and no again, and certianly a no.

Agreed. I don’t think this kind of reaction would have happened had one of the other two primary candidates had won.
