“He misspoke and corrected himself, no big deal.”

The problem now is Akin’s lack of money. I’m beginning to see McCaskill ads now, but nothing from Akin, no TV no radio and no mailings.
Obviously there is no compensatory funding to replace GOP denied funds, and since the GOP has said in no uncertain terms they will never give him money, I don’t see any one else stepping up. So most likely this seat is lost unless Akin steps aside.

Akin is too conservative, the RNC has gone full RINO. I would never give a penny to the RNC.

He should not drop out.

Naaaah -- the GOPe will have egg all over its face if it let's this win slip through their fingers because of the misspeaking of Reince Priebus.

He can still apologize and we will all accept it, and then he can send all the money he wants without objection.

Missouri Republicans are very forgiving people.

Grassroots supporters have to send money to Akin, and let the party know that they are reducing or eliminating contributions to the party in order to make sure that he is adequately financed.

What kind of a stupid party would put its ability to take the Senate at such substantial risk based on a statement of fact that was corrected within 24 hours after it was made?

I’ve been told that various conservative groups are joining forces & setting up a strategy. Conservatives from outside of the state are said to be coming in to help with “boots on the ground”. Don’t know how reliable the info’ is but I have volunteered to help if this thing gets organized.
