For anybody who still thinks Akin should stick it out...one name: Clayton Williams. Williams was a slam dunk to beat Ann Richards for the Texas governorship UNTIL he made a rape joke and ultimately lost.
How can there be ANYONE who thinks he should stick it out. I don’t care what kind of stellar voting record he had, he will not have a chance to place a dang vote because he is going to LOSE. Someone has to make him see reason, but i saw on Twitter that an unnamed Repub insider said “It’s hard to argue with an idiot.” Someone has to get through to him before 5 today, it’s essential he GET OUT.
I can’t stand the thought of not having any say in who his replacement would be. That is one reason why I am not 100% against him stepping aside.
