Let’s hope and pray the GOP establishment does what it should and supports this guy.

WE NEED THAT SEAT! And we NEED to purge McCaskel!!!

Akin’s poll numbers must be good. Those Frank Luntz ‘independents’ must be having voters remorse with the liberal Claire.

This is a good thing. Don’t be surprised - if Romney does well in the first debate - that more Republicans will choose to side openly with Akin.

[Tula Git]

I don't know which makes me feel better..
the potential to defeat McCaskill or
the potential to stick to all those RINOs that jumped on Akin like vultures.

Haha, more FReeper heads explode!

It is surprising that Bond would take action independently of John C. Danforth.

First let me say I don’t feel qualified to comment (but, hey, that’s never stopped me before, lol)

The only thing I will say with certainty is Akin made a stupid macaca statement. If he wins and beats McCaskill, I will cheer for him for (1) beating her and (2) standing up to the GOPe. It is a race I will watch.

'Asked directly if he considered Akin to be a better option for Missouri voters than McCaskill, Priebus did not hesitate. “Well, absolutely,” he said. “That’s a given, and as chairman of the party, I have an obligation to make sure we win as many seats in the Senate as possible.” MR. PRIEBUS, AKIN IS NOT ONLY A BETTER OPTION THAN CLAIRE MCCASKILL..AKIN IS MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN ROMNEY, BLUNT, BOND AND MOST REPUBLICANS RUNNING...PERIOD.

Akin is going to win... It is true that he said a very stupid thing regarding rape and abortion but McCaskill is very much hated in Missouri so a majority of voters would accept Akin apology on the issue and vote for him...

While taking a nap this afternoon, I was awakened by a fund-raiser for the National Republican Party. I interrupted her, saying, "I am giving to Todd Akin. See you." She tried to say something, but I hung up.

They need to get the message.

Pretty much now, if you are not supporting Todd Akin, you are not a conservative. Plain and simple

You are in the wrong political party if you get so worked up over a comment made by a person, who has repeatedly apologized for
