Well, the point now is to destroy Akin, and give the race to Claire McCaskill. Republicans are doing what they do best. No one is going to rush in to stop them. A little sacrificial blood on the alter of stupidity is Republican tradition. Ask George Allen and Trent Lott.
Why do you think Republicans aren’t supporting him?
The unfortunate reality is that even as red as our state is, it’s only 40% Republican. That’s about what Akin will end up with, 40% of the vote.
