Now damage control will be needed for this loose cannon who has decided to stay in. The Missouri seat is gone.Now to figure out how to keep the damage contained locally and prevent the national DNC from raising national campaign contributions quoting this idiot in their campaign contribution solicitation e mails for the next 10 weeks.

I’m leery of anybody that Tax Hike Mike endorses. Huckaphony isn’t a conservative. He just plays one on TV.

They need to freeze him out at this point. He’s being a selfish jerk. He has NO funding other than the left-wing groups who are thrilled to see him stay in, the NRSC has pulled all funding, as have American Crossroad’s and other PAC’s, he’s not going anywhere. This is absolute foolishness on his part, he’ll cost the GOP the Senate and hurt them in several other races because of his idiocy...just to prove a point.

Exactly. What a jerk. He cares more about his political aspirations than the country.

Now McCaskill is going to skate to re-election. The Rats won't even have to fight for it so they can spend that money elsewhere. Thanks a lot Akin!

Let’s see what he does.

The winning act is to go on the attack quickly and that’s what I think he’ll do.

nobody could be this dumb

Which senatorial candidate said the following? Which is worse? Was he forced to resign?

In his 1992 Senate bid, ____ was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, ______, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, ____ playfully twirled _____'s hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." _____'s face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." ____'s excuse was that it had been a long day.

If we can’t get the house and senate because of one mistake like this then we don’t deserve the house and senate.

I want him to pull out so there is one less ridiculous distraction but people are exggerating the impact of all this.

I love the guy. He was scientifically right on trauma shutting down ovulation. What are we saying here. If its rape as nebulously defined by a feminazi then we can kill the child? Give me a break.Why so many republicans run from a fight makes me wonder if we can win. HE WILL BEAT CLAIR MCASKILL!!! He apologized for the word “ legitimate” MOVE ON!!!

Thanks for kicking my country off the cliff to destruction Mr. Akin! Just remember vanity is a sin too!

The Senate is now gone, and with it, any chance to repeal Obamacare. Once we hit 2014, its not going anywhere, ever.

I hate to say it but you’re probably right.

God damn him to hell for his arrogance.

That's probably going too far, but I get the point.

Yes, he has a great voting record, but he is still an idiot for making that stupid statement.

He should step aside and switch places with the woman running for his House seat. Then he can stay in the House, and we can still pick up the Senate seat.

He has to be a dim plant.

I've begun to wonder that myself.

Mary, your fraud science doesn’t work anywhere. You’ve already been proven wrong in the other thread, yet you keep insisting on your particular brand of nonsense, especially scary because you’re a woman and should have a better idea of the whole than a middle-aged man.

“Rep. Todd Akin suggested to St. Louis station KTVI on Sunday that if a “legitimate rape” occurs, “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

“Rep. Todd Akin suggested to St. Louis station KTVI on Sunday that if a “legitimate rape” occurs, “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Get used to that, you’ll be seeing his idiocy all the way until Election Day.

My opinion of what he was trying to say as follows:

“Legitimate rape” = “Someone forcibly having intercourse with an unwilling participant”.

“Illegitimate rape” - Some bimbo laying down, spreading her legs and having consensual relations with someone, gets pregnant and then CLAIMS rape in order to have an abortion.

If that’s what he meant and that is what he was trying to convey then he should explain it.
