I'm not a medical professional, but hearing Akin on Hannity yesterday and today has led me to think that he is clinically in shock and denial. He is clearly detached from reality and is seeing the world the way he wants it to be rather than the way it is. After 48 hours, even Weiner realized it was over. Akin doesn't have a clue.

At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, Akin's going to hit a wall and the realization that he destroyed his career and damaged his cause in a 30 second sound bite will hit. When it does, he will be a broken man and possibly unable to continue as a candidate. It's a crying shame he didn't do the right thing when he had a chance. He could have lived to fight another day. The Joe Paterno demise comes to mind-albeit not on the same scale.

Do you think there's a chance a write in campaign could succeed in MO?

Todd Akin can still drop out by September 25, but it will be more complicated. He will have to get a state judge to OK it and also pay the state to have his name removed from the ballot. I’m hoping he does this sooner rather than later.
