Relying on Todd Akin's sense of decency has not worked. Within hours of his idiotic comments about "legitimate rape," Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS pulled out millions of dollars in funding for the Missouri Senate race. Akin didn't get the hint.
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, withdrew all funding from the Missouri race. Akin still refused to quit.
Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, a major Christian and tea party favorite, immediately called for Akin to withdraw from the race -- nothing.
Even Sean Hannity, the most true-blue Republican and defender of all conservatives, pleaded with Akin to withdraw. Still nothing.
This guy Akin is more selfish than Eliot Spitzer. After being caught in a prostitution scandal, Spitzer spent two days looking for anyone who would come to his aid. When no one did, he resigned.
Not Todd Akin!
True, what Spitzer did was worse, but not in the Democratic tradition. Moreover, Spitzer was the sitting governor! Akin won a highly contested Republican primary only a few weeks ago and thinks he's got a God-given right to be the Senate candidate from Missouri.

Now before Akin stuck his foot in his mouth he was up by 11 points.... Now what that literally means was Claire was losing. ‘Women's right to choose’ was not on any-ones mind. We have a liberal governor, and lack of jobs and a blasting heat and drought is state wide and Conservatives/Republicans was were motivated to vote out Claire.
Akin deluded in his own I speak for God, is NOT learned in how to win a state wide election.
I will vote for him IF I am left no other choice, but there are not enough like minded voters for him to win after needlessly inflaming the liberals sacred cow.
