If Todd Akin is “done,” it’s only because our fellow Repubs tossed him under the bus within seconds of his screw up. You almost NEVER see the Left do that to their wounded.

Obviously you have no clue what you are talking about. Missouri is a 'swing' state. Do you understand what that means. Apparently NOT, so I will explain. The state has about equal parts liberals, conservative/republicans and independents. NOW after this episode of foot in mouth who do you think those independents are going to vote for?

Rightly or wrongly this is reality.... Have you ever seen those independents that Frank Luntz rounds up to monitor their 'heart' rates.... Independents recoil at ridicule and they race as fast as they can to the perceive safe politician.... ARE YOU GETTING the reality of Missouri elections?

What self-righteous Akin did was spook those shaking in the wind independents.... ARE you getting it yet.... without the independents there are NOT enough conservative/republicans in this state to defeat Claire.... H E L L O!!!! Pray for a miracle and stop blaming everybody but AKIN he and he alone made this mess. GOT IT YET!!!!

My point on Akin is that if he decides to stay in, and it IS his choice since he won the primary, then the GOP needs to rehabilitate him, not keep knifing him.

— He didn’t consort with call-girls while in office, like Spitzer
— He didn’t text unwanted and bizarre pictures of his genitals , like Weiner
— He didn’t engage in corrupt activities, like Torricelli.

He verbally screwed up. Who the hell hasn’t?

Akin made a mistake but the hysterical reaction by the GOP is way beyond the substantive effects of the mistake.

What is going on here is that Akin's won the primary with a minority of the votes and the GOP is seeking to reverse that decision.

trailer trash conservatives think that they are in the majority but lose elections because they don’t show up for RINOS. Now with a psychotic conservative, they think they’ll be 100% turnout and that they are in the majority.
