This isn’t about being weak. This is about winning a Senate seat that should be won. This idiot has blown everything. And every GOP candidate is going to be asked if he/she agrees with Akin.
Exactly
Romney and Ryan can’t come to the State and share a stage with the guy. Less worried about how Akin feels and more concerned if this is bad enough that MO would be in play again.
And NO GOP candidate is going to say they agree with Akin. So Akin will be put in the position of fringe lunatic that even 99% of his party disowns. He might be able to survive if he was from Wyoming, but not Missouri. Any independent support he had has probably evaporated at this point. They will leave the Senate race blank or vote for Claire.
I hope Brunner and Steelman have been getting calls today.
