It would be best if the Conservative/GOP movement quit obsessing about Akin, you are cutting your own throats.
“Obama’s Democratic support in the state remains largely unchanged at 96%, and voters not affiliated with either major party still favor Romney by 20 points. But Republican support in Missouri for the party’s likely nominee has fallen from 94% in late July to 85% now,” Rasmussen continues.
If anything, I'd say the drop in GOPer support from 94% to 85% indicates that, presumptive nominee or not, Romney is not doing it for the rank-and-file Republican base.
Let's not forget, Todd Akin isn't the only gaffemeister in the Republican Party. Captain Etch-a-Sketch has his share as well, despite his quality-controlled campaign.
"Big business is doing fine" anyone?
I guess that explains Akin’s huge drop in the latest poll in Missouri. He now trails By 10 when he previously enjoyed a huge lead.

>Better read the internals. They aren’t pissed at Akin, they are pissed at Romnney for asking Akin to leave.
But of course...that’s why akin is now down 10 points since he spoke stupidly.
Deluded, ignorant or evil. Pick one.
There’s something eerie how quickly Romney and the GOP unloaded on Akin. If I lived in Missouri and voted for Akin, I’d be angry at The Machine for telling me whom to vote for. Whether it is for the “good of the country” for him to quit is up to his voters. He misspoke and apologized - what else can he do?
Of course, the ultimate irony would be if he stays in and wins...
