“Give it a week for the outrage to die down”
I’m inclined to agree. And if Akin does somehow survive this and gets elected, he will be beholden to no one - especially the republican party.
He can walk into the senate chambers with one of those “We’re #1” outsized football gloves except it won’t be the index finger that is raised up high.
He will be the most independent senator in Congress. And Rush is wrong about needing 51 republican senators. We only need 50 if Ryan becomes VP and becomes the deciding vote in the senate.
Let’s assume that selfish swine Akin survives. BFD. How much damage will Akin do to the other 8 competitive Senate races, 30-40 House races, and the Presidential election?
