[Uncle Chip]

He has zero chance at winning the Missouri Senate seat and because of that has done considerable damage to the conservative cause he claims to support.

Nonsense.

[tsowellfan]

It’s not nonsense. Akin is a conservative. So are we. If he goes down and we lose the Senate, the RINO wing wins. We will be the blame.

Just like if Romney goes down in November the conservatives get to say to the RINOs “we told you so”.

Akin is NOT the only conservative in Missouri but there is only one Senate seat to win in that state.

[hecht]

he is toxic to much of the electorate.
even if his core supporters still vote for him that is not a majority coalition.

[comebacknewt]

If he does indeed lose, will you agree with me then?
