no way bud.
todd akin any and all day. i’ll take a champion against the abortion machine and for unborn life all day and any day. win or lose that’s a win in my book, if it saves one unborn life.
even with the entire republican establishment and obama against us we still got more conservatives then they got. all we need to do is shut down the republican hit machine, for conservatives to win.

It wasn’t his pro-life stance that sunk him. It was his idiotic remarks about rape victims not being able to become pregnant. That was just plain stupid.
If he had withdrawn, another candidate just as pro-life as he was would have run instead and most likely have beaten McCaskill.
The most winnable seat we had went down the tubes.
Significantly damaging the cause of the pro-life movement does not save any children and indeed sets it back. We need candidates who are both pro-life and have sense about how they present it. Todd Akin did not do that. We do not need him “any and all day.”
To me the part about saving one unborn life is key. I don't know Mr. Akin nor do I know what is in his heart, but I do know that his incompetent campaign resulted in the loss of one of the most winnable Senate seats in 2012. It can be argued that the way he conducted his campaign become a drag on, or at least a distraction for, other Senate candidates as well as the Presidential campaign. Since the only real influence the Senate has on the abortion issue is in confirming Supreme Court nominees, it is quite likely that he contributed more to continuation of legalized abortion than to stopping it.
