McCaskill should be asked if she still stans by her definition of NBC being TWO CITIZEN PARENTS which she put her name to on SR511. Now that would be a good question for her -- and a whole lot of Senate candidates.

If this debate is Sept. 21, I guess that means that Akin won’t drop out on Sept. 25. I had expected him to fold earlier; few people can withstand the pressure that he did from the grand poo-bahs. Pretty soon they will be talking more about Mitt’s gaffes than that of Akin.

Will try to be here to view the stream for the debate. Heard a few rumors that Claire may not show up? I am praying for Congressman Akin.

This is great news!! Newt should be able to give Todd a significant boost to his campaign against McCaskill. By throwing his support behind Todd and physically being in Missouri sends a much needed signal to all Missourians that he has a highly recognized and proven conservative leader behind him. Missouri voters, if they had the chance to vote for Newt instead of having a caucus do it for them, would have given Missouri to Newt. I am hopeful that Newt can also draw in much needed donations for Todd by his appearance Monday.
I have had a feeling all along that Missourians will remember how Claire sold us out to Obama and do the right thing come Nov. 6th. If Newt targets all his attention to helping Todd in these final days by helping Todd attack the Obama clone (McCaskill), he will win big and give us a true conservative Senator for Missouri.
Thanks for posting the article, Katie. It has given me even more assurance that my prayers are being answered.

Thanks Evil Slayer..I am looking forward to the debate. I hope that IF it comes up about Akin’s gaffe..he simply says that he misspoke and apologized and it's time to debate the urgent issues facing Missouri and America. Bring up his voting record vs Claire's. I also hope and pray the media gives him fair coverage without the spin.

It is something so horrifying to women that men really can't comprehend it. If Mrs. Akin wants to say this, on the other hand, she's a woman and she can get away with it.
But back to the main point...
I'm on Akin’s mailing list. He's been attacking the national Republican leadership for weeks now. This has turned into a really nasty race.
The blame for that falls squarely on the national Republican leadership.
Scott Brown may well have needed to distance himself from Akin. I believe in federalism and I do not have a problem with that. What works in Massachusetts won't necessarily work in Missouri, and vice versa.
What happened next with the massive anti-Akin attack was unnecessary at best, and has created the very real possibility that Akin will enter the United States Senate with a mandate to attack Republican leadership as weak-knee compromisers who hate Christians almost as much as they fear Christians.
I would never have asked for this, but when life deals lemons, it's time to make lemonade. Having Akin become a Christian conservative standardbearer in the Senate proving that Christians win when we stand on pro-life principles would not be a bad thing.

Thanks for posting this, Katie. As I’ve said before, Gingrich’s action is important, and could become a game changer.

I hope to see you all in St. Charles this PM with Todd.
It is at the Embassy Suites in the Windsor Ballroom at 3 PM
