@nbcnightlynews : MT @chucktodd: Romney now officially calls on Akin to exit the race. He had been implying that, but hadn't directly said it. Now, he has

That’s great, he can respond the way GWB always responded to that crap... “That’s up to Missouri to decide.”
Is the deadline 5 p.m Eastern or 5 p.m. Central time?
I would have just condemned his stupid remarks. I am not sure how an open call for his resignation helps.
It’s not local. It’s been all over the national media.
Oh for the record I am no fan of Romeny. I want Claire replaced.
Isn't Missouri on Daylight Savings time as well? Because according to my clock, it should only be about 3:30 in MO, and he has until 5 PM.
5 pm central daylight time or
about 90 minutes from now.
It’s hardly “local drivel” when it significantly affects not only the chances of taking the Senate but of kicking Obama out. I’d say just the opposite. Every pressure by EVERY Republican/Conservative in the nation should be brought to bear on this unbelievable clownboy.
The guy is stupid and arrogant and stubborn for having not pulled his name off the ballot already. He can save face for about another hour and a half yet. After that he's a pariah; radioactive to Republicans and useful to Democrats as a caricature.
And as we all know, with Romney in the White House something is SURE to get done about abortion.

1) I thought it was 5 PM deadline.
2) That’s just to get out cost-free. He still has time if the Party or somebody is willing to foot the bill to reprint the ballots. 9/26 or something. After that it will take a court order, and the SoS is a Carnahan.
Note to Republicans. You are not lowlife, commie ‘RAT liberals. You don’t get a free pass. Keep your mouths shut and don’t say anything stupid. If Rimshot Joe Biden had said this it would have been no big deal. The commie ‘RAT libs in Barry’s state run “media” would be saying that Rimshot, or any other commie ‘RAT, was being “taken out of context” and that would be the end of it.
thats right if all of Akins supporters come out , hell win 20%!!!!!!!!!!
Then you ought to do what you can to get Sarah Steelman on the ballot, especially for roughly about the next hour or so.
Control of the US Senate and firing up the Democrat fake War on Women campaign isn't drivel. Akin is going to cost the GOP dearly and as more reports of him receiving aid through Claire MaCaskill funded advertisements and calling for him to stay in the race, it begins to look like he is working for his real paymaster. He is now cut off from any national GOP or PAC money. Missouri Senator Blunt along with several former Senators have called for him to step down. His campaign is now purely destructive and will help Harry Reid hold the Senate and will endanger other GOP candidates.
Ohhh — for a minute I thought Romney said that he was exiting the race for the good of the country so that we can get rid of Romneycare, er Obamacare. Heart be still —
Akin must go. He will be tied around the necks of every Rep running in Nov. The Dems will make certain of that.
Nonsense, it is local. Someone who wants to be president need not comment on every issue in the news. Let Michael Steele or whoever the RNC head is these days, do that work. Sorry, but it is beneath the presidency (at least all of them before this one).
If a candidate signed legislation banning firearms based upon what they are called, or looked like, I would call on THEM to exit the race..... (wonder who might have done that)
Mitt flings himself on a grenade not because he’s brave but because he’s too stupid to know better.
Let the guy win or lose on his own but attaching the whole party to the issue was an incredibly stupid move on the part of the GOP.
