These national Republicans trying to push Akin out of the race certainly are meddlesome

That’s how badly they wanted to face him, and their strategy worked so well that they might get Brunner or Steelman or maybe even a more established Missouri Republican instead. ...............Let's hope so.

It doesn’t seem likely that anyone can step in and save this race at this late date. Especially in Missouri where vote fraud is the norm.

I don't mean to defend Akin, but to point out the double standard in the MSM. Remember this from a certain Democrat?

Prudhomme soon bore in: "So you didn't believe Juanita Broaddrick's claim."

Gore: "No, I didn't say that. I think I said I don't know how to evaluate that, and I didn't see, uh, the interview. Uh, but I must say something else to you about this....I think that, uh, I think that whatever mistakes he made in his personal life are in the minds of most Americans balanced against what he has done in his personal life as President."

Here's a reminder.

All I know is that the feeding frenzy won’t end with him.

What is all this establishment talk of Jim Talent replacing him on the ballot? That makes no sense when there are two conservatives that ran neck and neck with him in the primary. It would seem to me that choosing Jim Talent might really piss of the base and then we still lose the seat.

What is the big deal about Talent? Why do people want him on the ballot when he didn’t even run in the primary? Something stinks and it smells like GOPe.

The pubs are on fire to snuff out Akin but wouldn’t dare even ask Obama if he was ever a citizen of Indonesia, let alone define what a natural born citizen is. So I am no longer Republican and they will never see another dime from me ever.

Reportedly, one of the man’s children told him: “What you said is akin to a faux pas, pa!”

I agree. I think it would look better to just toss a coin, between Brunner and Steelman. Easier for all the parties to accept the outcome. Installing some old-guard establishment geezer out of a smoky back-room isn’t particularly a recipe for enthusiasm these days. And it would be a slight against two candidates who actually made the effort and put a lot of work into their campaigns.

Very true. After this, no Republican who says breathtakingly stooopid things about rape will be safe from the crosshairs. Which, by the way, is the way things have always been. I'd like to see a single standard converged to mean both parties, but we can only control the ones on our side of the aisle.

Beginning to feel the same way.

Akin said something stupid...but when you have the Liberal PhonyCons all pushing for him to drop out...something is not right. Even more disturbing is how liberal “Conservative” talk radio is becoming.

Talent lost the seat because of that idiot Rush Limbaugh going after Michael J. Fox for allegedly feigning his Parkinson’s symptoms.

Talent is a loser.
Leave him behind.

I dunno. There are only about four articles in Breaking News about this.

But I guess you’re okay with McCaskill and other MO Democrats asking for him to stay IN the race???

There’s nothing wrong with calling out one of your one when they screw up badly, its the difference between the right and left, higher expectations and actual standards.

Let’s keep two things separate.

How conservative he is has zero to do with how stupid he is. There are smart and stupid of every political stripe. Don’t mix the two and say someone is smart or stupid because he agrees or disagrees with you.

That “idiot” was correct about Michael J. Fox. Fox admitted it years later. He had been varying his meds, which is common, and deliberately chose to tape the spot when he was in a bad way. But “going after Fox” at the time might not have been the best political move.
