I guess we have some conservatives who, if they had been captain instead of John Paul Jones, wouldn’t have said “I have not yet begun to fight”, but would’ve peed their pants and run up a white flag. Maybe they could wave coulter’s underwear.

Were I a Missourian, I'd vote for Akin as opposed to McCaskill. But I wouldn't confuse Todd Akin with John Paul Jones. More like a George Armstrong Custer...

George Armstrong Custer

Chuckles.

Hopefully, unlike Custer, this one mistake by Akin is a footnote - rather than the definition - of an otherwise exemplary life & career.

Not a bad analogy.....Custer was defeated, which brought I believe Nelson Miles into the fight. The Indians called Miles something like “The Punisher”, and the Indians never came back. If Akin loses, but it causes the conservatives to bring on a “Nelson Miles” who wipes out the Democrats, then bring it on!

Akin made one mistake....GA Custer was a complete and total buffoon. Akin is more like Jones, by far
