I hope this is based on some real inside information. Aikin just cut a new commercial begging forgiveness that should air today. They played it on the Bill Bennett show. I have a scary feeling the S.O.B. is going to try and fight through this.

Ugh, ugh, puke. That reminds me of the Allen "apology tour" back in 2006. Apology piled on retraction covered with contrition for weeks on end, only to have the newsers and the Webb campaign say in unison: "Allen has still not provided a satisfactory explanation for his apparently racist comment..."

You can't win on defense. An "apology" ad is equivalent to a concession speech. If Akin stays, all he will do between now and November is apologize to people who will refuse to listen to him. He's done.
