Akin won his Primary fair and square and he is the nominee and a good solid Pro Life Conservative who simply made a statement that was blown out of proportion by the DNC and the MSM.
GIve it a few days and a Rep. Akin press conference and all of this will be forgotten. After all, he has an 11 point lead in the polls and has proven himself to be a winner.

Will wait and see.
The question that needs to be asked is that, is now the 11 point lead GONE and now Rep. Akin “damaged goods” ?
He “had” an 11 point lead in the polls. The guy who ran for Governor in Texas and lost to Ann Richards because of an idiotic comment was up by 20 prior to his comments.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Akin is down by 10 by the end of this week if he stays in the race.
Not to mention that with all outside financial support pulled, he couldn’t get elected dog-catcher at this point.
Google "George Allen" and "macaca".
You're delusional. Akin will not be able to recover from this gaffe. It's just so colossally bad that even fellow strongly pro-life conservatives will run against him all over the country in order to prove they are sensitive to women's issues. Akin will lose us this seat if he doesn't get out. Losing this seat means McCaskill retains it - and that seriously cuts into our chances of taking back the Senate. Akin may be a good guy, but he's destroyed his candidacy and for the good of the country he needs to do the right thing and get out of the race.
