I want to see Akin and Mourdock both win if for no other reason than to see Rachell Madow and the other radical feminists grinding their teeth, with veins bulging in the foreheads when they are forced to call the race.

The GOP establishment would still rather fund leftwing gay Republicans than actual conservatives.

I believe Akins will win Missouri but only because he is the Anyone But Claire McCaskill candidate and he will ride in on Mitt Romney's Coat Tails.

Unless Akin wants to be a one-term Senator he best not over-estimate his “political capital” given to him by the votes in the Show Me State because he doesn't have any.

JMHO.

The GOP establishment along with Obama need to be changed if this country is ever going to get better.

The McCaskill resolution provided the legal cover for a non-natural born citizen to become president.

A pox on her house and memory.

His point is well taken but considering he was part of the republican establishment that tried to shove Dede Scovafazza down our throats, and give took away as safe GOP congressional seat as a result, this is a bit of the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.

Not could, it would be a strong rebuke to the GOP establishment. That's why this Floridian sent the soon-to-be Senator from the "Show-Me" state a campaign contribution.

BS. Romney is a radical liberal compared to Akin. If Akin wins, it is because he is a man of principles who deserves to be in office. Romney is ONLY being elected as a anybody but Obama.

The GOP-E needs more than a rebuke....it needs annihilation.

"veins bulging in the foreheads when they are forced to call the race."

May the veins bulge in their legs, may their heads explode!
