It is most unfortunate that Akins, by his own admission, was careless in his comments. Given the impact, he simply cannot escape the consequences of his actions and must step aside.
This election is bigger than Akins and for the good of the country he needs to stand down - now.
The last thing we need is a self-imagined martyr, like Christine O'Donnell. The consequences of him not stepping down is simply bigger than him.
Mr. Akins, I defended you yesterday and I stand by my comments, but you must step aside for the national good.
In olden days, we could get away with an occasional “Homer Simpson” candidate/moment but what GOP candidates need to know is:
1. It’s a war, you really have no friends...just mutual associates.
2. Dems will get a free pass from MSM bodyguards.
3. MSM will not treat GOP candidates fairly.
4. Learn to speak “Breitbart”.
5. A man may live 100 years but the internet if forever.
6. We’re at a crossroads, failure is not an option.
