Great news!! Thanks again Akin for your “principled” stand!
Wow... I am sooooooo shocked!! /s
oh yeah, he is principled alright, but mostly about keeping himself in power... he wont have to worry about that much longer...
Drop out, moron!
McCaskill has been the brains and the money behind the Akin campaign. She picked her target well and managed to hoodwink the GOP into nominating the only person in the entire state of Missouri whom she could possibly beat in November.
Faced with that unassailable fact, I am amazed at the number of people who continue to support this guy. He needs to go.
47% view Akin very unfavorable. Tough to overcome that one.
Give it a week for the outrage to die down, and for Akin to make his case and his apology tour. Then we’ll have a better picture of where it stands. McCaskill still has to defend ER record from now to November.

Unbelievable!
McCaskill took your money and your freedom Missouri - and you’re going to reward her with re-election?
If I were a liberal politician, I’d be wiping my ass with Mo voters too....
Turned on the tv this morning, and zipped by CNN for a few seconds on the way to the Weather Channel and an Isaac update. The big heading/discussion: “Ryan and Rape.”
Not feeling too charitably towards Akin right now.
He really is a jerk for not dropping out.
Told ya.
I can just see it now from them, "Why take a gamble in swing states with pro-life candidates, when we can have a 'sure win' without them...". This isn't just about this race, but the stake of future races for the party. Pro-life groups should think long and hard about continuing to support Akin- there are many, other solid candidates in MO who won't cause this outcome, or lose this current race.
This is proof that the man should have quit... I will put money into any challenge that Sarah Palin is involved with.
LLS
and there you have it...McCaskill’s money spent supporting Akin during the primary seems to have paid off well
I don’t know about any of these polls. By any company.
Rasmussen is clearly a company that leans right with t’s poling which means Rasmussen himself would probably like to see Akin out of the race so he the right wing polling company comes up with a poll that has him down 10, but the PPP aka liberal polling company has Akin up.
See my point?
I just wonder if all these people make things up and pulls numbers out of thin air and no one should pay attention to them at all.
I am stunned he’s only down 10 points, I thought he would be down 30 points by now, hey nothing better than moral victories, just ask the Clippers
How ironic. This arrogant ass believes he is the only one who can carry the pro-life torch. In reality, he is going to be responsible for the pro-abort remaining in office. Any number of other pro-life candidates can beat McCasKILL. He is the only one who certainly cannot. And he believes he is helping the pro-life cause? He is delusional and anyone who is buying it is delusional. Unfortunately, some FReepers are still buying it.
None of those who lost in the primary is allowed to mount a write-in campaign. They can, however, be named by the Republican Central Committee if Akin withdraws with court order by Sept. 25.
Akin has a real opportunity to not be forever remembered as the Benedict Arnold of the pro-life movement. Make a deal with the Central Committee to withdraw if he can name his replacement. If it is a strong pro-life candidate with a chance to win, both sides should make that deal.
This fool probably cost us the Senate. No win that is thrown away can come to a good in the entire end. Now if we lose the senate and get the WH then we cannot get rid of Obamacare. Thanks idiot Akin for your MOUTH!
Akin is starting to look like a bum. Get the HELL out now!
