We cannot afford to lose this seat. Why take a chance by backing the candidate that Claire McCaskill wants as her opponent?

If only it was that simple.We're now poised to lose a state,a *big* state,that we had in the bag a week ago.What was W's margin of victory in 2000? Was it 3 Electoral votes????? Osama Obama is carpet bombing Boston TV with ads and has been for weeks.Why Boston,you ask? NEW HAMPSHIRE!!! The most heavily populated part of NH is actually a Boston suburb.Osama Obama knows that this is gonna be a close one.The fools here that predict Romney in a landslide are delusional.WE NEED MISSOURI! WE DON'T NEED AKINS!!!
Then stop the internecine warfare!!
I do not agree with Cong. Akin on his apparent opposition to allowing abortions for rape victims, in a hypothetical future State Law--if we can get Roe vs. Wade reversed. But that is not really an issue in this campaign. But the Republican internal war is totally self-destructive, and is playing into the Obamanist hands. It also makes Republicans in general look like a bunch of hysteria driven opportunists, willing to panic at the first shot from the mass media.
This panic on our side is very embarrassing! Akin's actual remark is easily dealt with; ongoing internecine Republican over-reaction is not.

I think this is what sociopathy looks like. Saw it in Billy Jeff.
The problem with Akin's statement was not that is was stupid, but that it was stunningly stupid. It's like someone saying they really think there are aliens in spaceshops hovering above the earth in space or the earth is flat. It was mind-boggling stupid. It was like the dope Dem from Georgia, Hank Johnson, who thought too many people on an island in the Pacific would make it capsize. We don't need people that dumb.
