As Ann Coulter points out (picutes, please), this was a completely unforced and stupid gaffe from soemone who ought to know better. It’s true that a liberal Democrat wouldn’t be condemned like this, but why did Akin have to do it at all? If he stays in the race, there will likely be other such stumbles. Word on the block is that Akin will be dropping out tomorrow.

A lot of prominent Republicans are calling on him to drop out, and he probably will. Ann Coulter correctly points out that Sarah Steelman would be a good choice who would take the gender issue off the table. IMHO, other good choices include ex-Senator Jim Talent and state Auditor Tom Schwich. Other oossible replacement candidates include ex-Senator John Ashcroft (not a good idea, IMHO) and businessman John Brunner.
Sarah Steelman inspires me to shoot heroin.
Akin tramped through the biggest pile of dogsh!t he could find with hiking boots, and now people are upset with Coulter for telling him to take his shoes off before he comes in the house.
