Are there still people describing themselves as “conservatives” still pushing Akin to drop out?

Why drop out when you have to foot the bill for getting out...might as well campaign

Maybe he could get “Rape rape” Whoppi Goldberg, or “put some ice on it” BIlly Jeff to explain the many various nuances of the definition of the word rape.

Written off by many in his own party a mere month ago, Republican Rep. Todd Akin has been slowly rebuilding his Senate campaign after apologizing for inflammatory remarks about pregnancy and rape.

Meanwhile Bill Clinton may have actually committed rape and not a word was said by the "defenders of women."

Actions speak louder than words. Akin said dumb things, Claire Baby does dumb things.

I’ll take the former.

Lib media doing their best to keep Akin in, knowing deadline is Tuesday. Once Tuesday hits, the ads are going to come down hard. Up until now, Akin has not been touched by DNC/PAC ads.

Regardless, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus flatly reiterated on Sunday he would be sending no resources to aid Akin's campaign.

Further proof the GOPe views conservatives, not the rats, as their enemy.

Akin doesn’t need a bus. He doesn’t need an influential group of pastors. He doesn’t need Phyllis Schlafly. He needs money and he doesn’t have any. His campaign’s financial gas tank is sucking air. That vaunted fundraiser with Gingrich is a $100 a plate dinner for about 500. Do the math. McCaskill will start bombarding the airwaves soon and all Akin can do is watch

The Missouri Grassroots Coalition has been compiling a list of Missouri Republican Central Committees that have endorsed Todd Akin. Currently, the list (which may not be complete) is:

St. Charles County
Franklin County
Callaway County
Warren County
Howard County
Christian County
8th Cong District Committee
Stone County

The MGC group is also compiling a list of Tea Party groups (those that can endorse candidates) who endorse Akin for an expected announcement and press release this week.

Any updates/help with the above from anyone here would be appreciated.

Akin can’t win this race and Newt Gingrich and other conservatives know this. Its still worth trying to prop him up and put on a brave front without spending alot of money on a lost cause. We still have a chance of winning the Senate by supporting other races where there is still a chance.

BTW, Akin was done in by his own words and actions, not anyone else.

"Our campaign is working lying hard and taking nothing for granted," said McCaskill spokeswoman Caitlin Legacki. "You can expect Claire to continue working lying as if she's running from behind."

There fixed it.

My prediction and take that for what it’s worth. Akin will win this election.
