We are in a fight to the death for the soul of this country. Life ain't fair, and if Akin can't handle that he's a bigger jackass than I thought. It's not about Akin. It's about saving the country.

Akin and Huckabee can both go away. If Akin is a real patriot he will find another way to serve our country.

Three of his sons served in the USMC (two are still on active duty) and Akin served as an officer in the U.S. Army with the Army Combat Engineers.

I don't question Todd Akin's patriotism for one minute.

Exactly!! It is about winning back the Senate and Akin, fair or not, is damaged goods. He did not make a "misstatement" by mixing up his words. He blurted out "facts" that are both fiction and offensive at the same time. You just can't do that and still be considered a viable candidate for the US Senate. It also feeds that narrative that Conservative Christians are mean spirited and ignorant. Fair or not, those are the facts.

Akin has branded himself ignorant at the National level. He is down 10-points and near 50% of Missouri voters have a negative view of him. Those numbers are off the charts. There is not enough time and he doesn't have enough cash to run the ads and do the things necessary to repair his extremely damaged image.

Akin will lose in November not because he is a Christian or pro-life. He will lose because he is a weak candidate for the office he seeks.
