LOL. What a shock. Destroy a guy in the media for 5 straight days (including the "conservative" media) and his poll numbers go down. Duh.

If the GOP looses this seat, don't blame Akin. Blame the Hannity, Coulter, Malkin, etc. circular firing squad. With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Blame the Hannity, Coulter, Malkin, etc. circular firing squad.

If the conservative media/pundits even were responsible for as much as 1 point of the deficit I'd be surprised.

He destroyed himself.

He needs to get out NOW.

[jennychase]

He destroyed himself and should blame him only. Because of this buffoon, we may lose Congress and Senate seat.

I am still offended by his comment, those who were on fence may move to different direction.

[babble-on]

“don’t blame Akin”??????

No, when a guy says something this stupid in the middle of a crucial campaign, I blame him.

>”If the GOP looses this seat, don't blame Akin”<

As soon as his comments were published, it was over.

When there's a Fire, you blame the guy holding the matches, not the people in the Bucket Brigade who don't have enough water to put it out.

I think the Clue Store opens at noon. They're having a sale.

Exactly. The huge bump for McCaskill is about 50% Akin's fault, and 50% the fault of the whole GOP, from Romney on one side to Palin on the other, for staging a massive, skirt-clenching attack of the fainting vapours in full view of the media.

[soycd]

An even bigger LOL would be taking the whole GOP ticket down with this akin traitor.

Anyone not trying to get akin out now is working for the democrat party.
