No offense taken. Remember, it's Breitbart, his headlines are always all caps.

As for Breaking News vs. Opinion, I originally put it in Extended News because of the info on possible Akin replacements. Now I see it's been removed.

At this point it belongs in a category that doesn't yet exist: Old News. :)

Looks like it is in frontpage news.

Should have remained in breaking IMO.

I hope the Tea Party Express and Sarah Palin candidate Sarah Steelman gets the nod.

This one is still in breaking news:

Republican Source: Akin Moving To Withdraw
BuzzFeed Politics ^ | 8/20/12 | Ben Smith

Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 1:48:44 PM by Evil Slayer

Missouri Republican Todd Akin has begun moving toward ending his candidacy after his remarks on rape and abortion provoked a firestorm, a top Republican said.

"Akin is taking concrete steps to withdraw by tomorrow at 5:00 p.m.," a senior Republican told BuzzFeed, adding that Akin could still change his mind.

But a Republican close to Akin said his position hasn't changed: He's still in the race.

Tomorrow afternoon is an important deadline: If he files papers to end his candidacy in Jefferson City tomorrow he can end his candidacy unilaterally; after that, he would have to file an application in court.
