Akin needs to be given the Torricelli treatment ASAP. If he stays in, he is poison. He’ll get minimal, if any, support from the NRSC. Neither Romney or Ryan nor any other high profile Republican will touch him with a ten foot pole. He can’t self fund and the Dems will pour millions into the race against him.
This all needs to be made crystal clear to him.
His is a fatal mistake, perhaps even a career ending one.
By this evening, I hope an avalanche of Republicans will distance themselves from him and call for him to step down.
And I hope he gets calls from Romney and McConnell laying out the facts for him.

Santroum artfully handled this verey same question in the primaries. He discussed the Supreme Court ruling that shot down a Louisiana law making rape a capital crime, and asked why an innocent child resulting from a rape should be subject to death, but the rapist be protected by law.
Santorum didn't deny that pregnancy could result from rape, but he boldly framed it in terms of wanting to compound one act of violence with another.
I guess Akin wasn't paying attention.

IMO this is a non-issue, at least it should be as much as a non-issue as Joe Biden’s gaffes are. He misspoke, he didn’t mean that rapes aren’t bad, he meant that some activities of that nature (s3x) are consensual and not true rapes. Some are women crying “rape” when that is not what it was at all. See the lacrosse team down south.
IOW, it is not as likely that a woman would become pregnant under the conditions of an the actual, violent, horrific crime of rape. So the Dem politicians claiming that rape is a “good” reason for abortion is a non sequitur.

The problem is that that idiot Akin "clarified" his statement to "oh, yeah, I meant
forcible rape" -- thus opening that door.
And now he says he won't bow out... AAARRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!

But they give Biden a get-out-of-racist-jail card.

The last time the Dims were this exercised about rape was when Clinton was accused of committing one.

I called this last night and was told that I was nuts by multiple people, that this would blow over in "a day or two" and that Akin would still "win big" and that it wouldn't have affect on other GOP races.

Why report the news when you can create the news?
Because people quit getting the news from you when you create it that's why.

Paul Ryan is not an idiot. Nor did he sleep through ninth grade biology. He will be well-prepared for this when the media sycophants try and zing him.

Perhaps Akin can withdraw and get Whoopi “it’s not rape rape” Goldberg’s job. I mean, being against killing a baby is soft on rape? How about punishing rapists instead of babies? Where do these hypocrites stand on defunding ACORN?
