Uh, not so fast. Let's wait and see what the polls say after this weekend.
Sounds like it was a good debate.
Akin should just tell her “Yes, I said something really stupid - but you vote for stupid things. Which is worse? Being a bad public speaker, or someone who enacts bad legislation?” Not sure that would work...but it would be worth a shot, I guess...
God’s speed mr akin (akin.org). the elites and so called conservative media who want to “murder” you are beginning to smell the crow. let’s make them eat it in november (akin.org).
I'll take what he says and what he believes over what you do and what you vote for any day, Clairebelle.
Its not what he says thats the problem, its what he believes that is the problem, Mrs. McCaskill shot back.
Sounds like the GOPe and the PhonyCons agree w McCaskill....
Sounds like Akin done fine in the debate
Akin can win every debate and still lose. The people of MO won’t see such debates and might not understand them either. If the media continues to declare the Democrat the winner, well, the populace does as instructed. But maybe MO people will surprise us.
Todd Akin stood his ground and did not cower.
He’s not perfect- none of us are. We are all failed humans redeemed by God, should we choose to apprehend and receive that message.
The clucking hens were quick to condemn him. God often chooses the unlikely and unpopular to present His Truth.
Claire McCaskill is running against God.
I sent a contribution to Akin about ten days ago. I will be sending more. This guy is, perhaps, the most pro-life candidate running for Senate in the entire United States. He has my support, and all the more so as the RNC withholds theirs.
The Obama Care Bill she voted for was the size of a Phone Book that no one read. They should have put it in a Coloring Book so they would have at least looked at it.
Go Todd, GO!!! Stick it to Claire.
For politician, the standard should be whether he's good for the cause or hurt the cause. He has hurt the cause by saying stupid thing. If he lose and the Senate keeps the status quo under Reid because of that, then he severely hurt the cause. If, however, he somehow win the race, then probably we can consider him good for the cause.
So, for me, the jury on Akin is still out there.
One of the PACs should air an ad that shows video of McCaskill at an Obamacare town hall in 2009 shouting out, “Don`t you trust me?!”... followed by a laugh track.

I’ve sent a recent contribution also and I urge other FReepers do the same if they can. Akin can be one of this year’s crop of CONSERVATIVE Senators to be elected to the Senate. We are on the cusp of not only have a Republican led Senate, but also a conservative dominated (or at least VERY heavily influenced) Republican caucus in the Senate.
So let’s all support Akin and ignore those who are secretly pining for a McCaskill reelection.
If you hold a debate and nobody watches then does it make a difference? The debate was yesterday during the day. It wasn’t televised live, certainly not in the KC area, and I can’t find it in the cable guide so it doesn’t look like it’s being repeated any time in the next week. Akin could have mopped the floor with McCaskill and who would know? All people have are the media reports, and I imagine those will be slanted towards McCaskill.
I sent him a contribution right after the first major deadline passed and he was still in. I think there was some second deadline that I was waiting for him to survive before contributing again.
Do you know anything about a second deadline?
I seem to recall some folks mentioning a September 25th “drop-dead” date, but I’m not certain of that.
She’s running from God on her pro-abortion views also
