This idiot is going to cost us the Senate. Does he not understand that the local and national liberal media will never let this die? Never.

The MSM will attempt to attack all Republicans as they tar them with being “anti-women”.

Too many stupid people vote.

Well, Polls this morning indicated he is still 11 points on Claire. Apparently, people aren't watching and the ones that are understand how bad Claire is that they are overlooking this. What I am tired of is outsiders (Washington insiders) butting in Missouri. If they would shut up this would go away.

This doesn’t have anything to do with Missouri anymore. This is all over the national press and Akin has given lines to Bambi and every Dem for weeks ahead. He blew it and that’s just how it is, and if it isn’t dealt with now, it will only get worse.

He needs to step down and the GOP needs to be seen having some party discipline, for once.

Fine....let him go down in flames. The next time some nitwit GOP candidate feels the urge to be interviewed on the subject of abortion, Akin’s crashing and burning should flash before his mind’s eye.

Oh, and the next time Sarah Palin endorses someone for the primary in your state, pay attention. She obviously has more political sense than a boatload of “experts”. Her candidate, Steelman, wouldn’t have been this stupid...and she is a woman, another plus when running against a woman.

Godd, the RSC and other big spenders will come back in as he succeeds.

Unless he does so well they can spend the money in closer races.

“Let Akin be Akin!”

Fox News just said John Ashkropt, John Danforth and Kit Bond are having a news conference on him leaving and none of them are going to replace him.

I think they said Steelmann will run

PPP showed Akin up 1% this morning using a poll overweighted to Republicans TRIPLE the 2010 elections. A Dem polling firm for the first time ever giving extra weight on the Republican side?

Give me a greak.

Akin is finished period.

It is nice to see principled religious conservative people fighting. Sure he said something that should have been said differently but anybody with a brain knew what he meant. Akin for President in 2016 along with Bachmann and Santorum running as well. We need to get away from the liberalism that has taken over both parties. Let’s get some serious religious conservatives in office and you will see an incredible country again. Pro Life, Anti-Gay marriage and agenda should be our top priority. If you concentrate on social issues first, the fiscal issues will change as well EASILY!!!!

Fox business is reporting that a group of present and former GOP Senators will call for Akin to withdraw today. Also, the Chairman of the RNC has asked him to withdraw. If Akin continues at this point, he is effectively working for the Democrats. He will not only burn himself down, he will take other Missouri candidates with him as well as hurt the Republicans nationally in the battle for the Senate and maybe even cost the GOP the state in the Presidential election.

No, polls this morning showed he'd lost his 11 point lead and was ahead by 1, well within the margin of error. His negatives lead his positives by 2 to 1 as well.

Poll

Todd is staying in. Get used to it. He has apologized and even with the predominently stupid GOP piling on he still leads McCaskill. I thought we learned something from the SandraFluking of Limbaugh. Now either we all get the message (that other one not sent out by Karl Rove and company) and help this man who made a mistake recover the tiny bit of ground he needs to win or we keep being dumb asses complaining over spilt milk. Akin is a good man who has two daughters. The idea that some how he is indifferent or cruel where rape is concerned is ridiculous but of course all that didn’t matter.

I supported Sarah Steelman but the idea that we are going to just go hysterical because of fear of how the left will use something is just crazy. Hell you’d think the guy got caught getting a teenager give him a blow job at a rest stop or someting or walked into a planned parenthood and opened fire.

We have to stop being trained pavlovian dogs always reacting to the leftwing tune. This story will die entirely if people just learn to shut up. Take a few hints from the left on this. Look at all the stupid shit that Democrats say and still surive. Instead we waste time tearing apart of good man and a loyal conservative soldier. Sorry I cant be a part of it. Its not Christian and Political Correctness is not a plank of the GOP last time I checked.
