re: I knew this was a hurricane in a teapot. Looks like it has already blown over.
Now when Akin wins this thing do you think we will see any contrition from the Anybody But Akin crowd here?

Yes, you will see contrition and congratulations. You totally mischaracterize the situation with the ridiculous term “Anybody But Akin.” That really is being intellectually dishonest. Not anybody. A pro-life conservative who can beat McCasKILL. That is what we all want. You just don’t want to accept that some people disagree on Akin’s ability to do that. To some of us, he blew the chance to beat McCasKILL and has actually done damage to the pro-life movement across the country. Yes, it is totally unfair, but the RATS will play this across the country as part of the preposterous War on Women theme with the help of the mainstream media. That message will keep playing over and over and over. Their convention is going to induce projectile vomiting here in Upland. I will be very glad to say I was wrong on election day if he beats her. But thinking with my head, rather than my heart, I don’t think he can.
Someone, maybe you, had stated on FR that McCaskill and the Dems have not even started yet to exploit the Akin blunder because they want to wait until it is too late to replace him. I think this is true and they are trying to lull us into a false hope.
McCaskill has been suspiciously quiet the last couple of weeks. The only ads I have seen from her don’t even mention Akin.
