“Yeh — he’s doing better than ever and the companies that dropped him are faltering.”
Not the point, it will dominate the news for far too long and Akin will become the poster boy for the GOP war on women.
And to follow your logic, you are predicting that this will make Akin a more successful politician?
While Akin's backers may be arguing that since this happened in August before most people pay attention to elections, this also gives Missouri Republicans time to pressure him to drop out of the race and replace him with someone who isn't an embarrassment. National party leaders ought to step in here too and insist on his quick exit. The alternative is to simply sit back and watch while McCaskill pulls victory from the jaws of defeat with Akin's assistance.
