I don't know if you're paying attention to what is going on, but the only people who want this guy to stay in, are BEGGING for him to stay in, is the far left. This isn't a situation where the GOP capitulates to the left and removes a deserving conservative or allowing someone to get Borked, this is where a conservative FUBAR's things so badly that there's not repairing it, politically he's dead in the water and anyone with an ounce of political savvy understand that. The GOP doesn't want him out because he's "conservative", they want him out because he's going to cost them what should have been an easy pickup seat in the Senate.

Why do you think McCaskill was funding this guy, spending $2 million in advertising to help him win the primary? She saw a chump early on and said screw it, the Democrats would LOVE to see this guy stay all the way through, its an easy pickup for them.

Christine O'Donnell's "I'm not a witch" was pretty bad, but Akin's comments were several levels above that. Not only that, now you have every GOP candidate, even here in Arizona being asked "so what do you think legitimate rape is??" So instead of talking about the economy and going on the offensive, we're walking through sandtraps talking about "real rape" vs "fake rape."

There was absolutely no attempt by the Republicans to spin this and try to deflate it. The GOP just jumped on board the leftist media bandwagon without offering the guy any support. Reince Pribus (sp?) should have been on the phone immediately telling Akin how to try and spin, or excuse, his remarks, and then Republicans should have came out and defended him as simply a man who spoke. Seems to me that the GOP joined the democrats in their assault on Akin, and in fact the democrats have had to do very little to keep the story alive because they know the media will do it for them. The democrats are laughing their azzes off not because they believe they can keep a senate seat, they are laughing because once again they caused the Republicans to piss their pants and eat one of their own. Most likely Akin is an idiot, but look how the democrats defend their idiots Pelosi and Biden. The very mindset that caused the GOP to cut ties with Akin is the very same mindset that causes the party to nominate rinos like McCain and Romney. It is the fear of criticism from the left and the fear that a conservative would get the party labeled as nothing but a group of selfish, money grubbing, sexist, cold hearted bigots. The GOP has accepted the leftist created stereotype of conservatism and wants nothing to do with because that would be politically incorrect. In other words, the Republicans fear conservatism as much, if not more, than they do the socialism of the left.
