??? LOL Go back to the comment that you originally responded to. Yes, I am not helping you highjack this into a Palin thread.
RE : This is what I first posted to you, it is an accurate response to your post about Akin, and your post 52 revealed how ignorant you are about the Akin race that you introduced to the thread.”
I didn't post anything about the Akin race. You replied to me with a comment about that subject of course really about Palin.
Do you have to turn every thread into a Palin thread?
I never turned this into a Palin thread, but you are trying to.

If the best they can do on social issues is those like Todd Akin then yes they should abandon them.
Akin and a few others furthered Obama’s agenda better than any Dem did(Romney helped too).
Alternatively the Little Sisters of the Poor ad against the birth control mandate was a home run.
Losing to Dems just to say ‘I took a (losing) stand’ is a date in the book of irrelevance and sometimes idiocy.

Akin was Michele Bachmann’s endorsement, not the GOPe, nor the tea party.
Akin was just a bad candidate that Palin and the tea party, and the establishment all tried to get out.

RE :”Akin was just a bad candidate that Palin and the tea party, and the establishment all tried to get out.”
You need to rephrase this last sentence.
Are you saying they all were against him?

Politico
“”Sarah Palin slammed GOP Senate hopeful Todd Akin’s decision to continue his bid for the Missouri seat and suggested that she might back a third-party challenger in an interview on Fox News on Tuesday night.
(snip)
Palin’s remarks came hours after Akin, in defiance of GOP influentials from Mitt Romney to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, refused to drop his challenge to Sen. Claire McCaskill, the incumbent Democratic senator from Missouri.
(snip)
Akin, she said, is not the one to secure the state for the Republicans.
(snip)
In the interview, Palin championed Sarah Steelman, who was her choice for the ticket in Missouri’s bloody Republican primary, and added that if Akin doesn’t drop out by the end of September, “it’s going to be a third party then.”

“” Other candidates in the August 2012 Republican primary included businessman John Brunner, author and business executive Mark Memoly, and former Missouri Treasurer Sarah Steelman.””
(different article, slate)
“”In 2010, yes, Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell blew elections that Republicans were on track to win. (The Nevada race that Angle lost was less of a sure thing—Harry Reid is underestimated at his enemies’ peril. But we’ll go with it.) In 2012, Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin lost elections that other Republicans could have won, but Todd Akin was not endorsed by any major national or local Tea Party organization.””

I left out that Steelman and Brunner were the tea party candidates, (there was some division).
