It is way past time for a Republican to show some apine and refuse to quit. A quit is a loss and I bet he will still win. You don’t ever win by quitting. Democrats never quit, just look at Biden.
Good point and I agree. As I said last night, remember who said what is is? How stupid was that and he did not quit.
Not true.
In 2002, incumbent Democrat Bob Toricelli won his primary and was set to be his party's nominee. Subsequently, nasty stories came to light about him taking campaign donations, and it looked like the seat was going GOP.
The Dems pressured him to withdraw, and he did, despite it supposedly being after the deadline. They put up Lautenberg instead, and he won, keeping the seat in the D column.
If you've got a nominee who screws up badly after the primary, getting rid of him may well be the smartest move.

...it’s not about “spine”. It’s about common sense. I’m sick and tired of pubbies caving on legislature, healthcare, taxes, you name it. This seat is lost and we can’t afford a lost Senate seat. Especially when McCaskill was 11 points behind! Now we’ll see what happens to that 11 points.
