I know. I just dont know how much ground you gain when you cave, either. Personally, I think this whole situation is lose/lose.Yes, sadly I agree...

Also - how much time, energy, effort, and money has been wasted on this fool? Akin gave the dims a gift and they’ve ran with it. Not just in his race; but all Monday long we’re talking about this, instead of how craptastic our economy is.

I know the voters are ready, but those that go on talk shows need to be. We don't want a split party with evangelicals fighting GOPe. I agree with your second statement. In your first sentence above, if you meant that candidates like Akin should have been better prepared before he went on that talk show, yes I also agree.

It is possible he stays in today, does some polling, then later gets the court order. Could the MO GOP vote him out or is it all up to Akin?

Not just in his race; but all Monday long were talking about this, instead of how craptastic our economy is. Excellent points! Probably why Rush just compared Akin to Biden. (Rush, a few minutes ago: "We don't need a Joe Biden on our side.")

Akin should have been prepared, but also when we have folks on TV in the future they need to be prepared to answer questions about Akin, to take the topic OFF Akin. (if he stays in)

I think he has to drop out. I just don’t like setting the precedent that the media can dictate who our candidate is, even after a primary. The media totally hype up stories while hiding others and create this stupid foaming mouth fervor. I mean, for Pete’s sake, I was ignoring anything Michelle Malkin posted because she had a huge argument over why her “estimated” numbers were more valid on rape than the police kept records. I get that rape isn’t always reported, but rapes that don’t happen also get reported. How do you factor that into “estimated” numbers?
Sometimes I’m depressed thinking about how we are all mere pawns of the media. Worse than that - we are the media’s version of Pavlov’s dogs.

Right. Romney/Ryan need to get back on message immediately and all other candidates need to follow suit.

12 years in US Congress and he says something that stupid, he is our Biden, and just wait until he goes on all the cable and network TV shows for publicity to boost his campaign, face palms.

The media still has tremendous power in that it can choose to either ignore or magnify an issue in order to drive an agenda. And isn’t it remarkable how unified the MSM is when it involves trying to take down a Republican?

and I don't like how we jumped on him in public first. Someone should have known his ego and at least attempted to handle it internally. If he stays in none of those that released statements can now say well, he is better than Claire.

its something stoopid about a hotbutton issue - and it was also FALSE
the question is - was it stoopid enough
‘naked babies arouse me’ is something stoopid too - people are disagreeing about if his statement rises to the point where he should step aside

Akin should have been prepared, but also when we have folks on TV in the future they need to be prepared to answer questions about Akin, to take the topic OFF Akin. (if he stays in) The problem with Akin boils down to this: He said something stupid -- and said it stupidly -- yes. But he also single-handedly reversed the momentum of the national race.
Prior to Akin, all the conversation concerned how poorly Obama and the Democrats were doing -- in the polls, fundraising, etc. -- and just how badly they might be beaten.
Post-Akin, the conversation is all about him! -- and all the damage he could do to the Republican brand...and how he risks not only the Senate seat, but the Senate, the state and, maybe, even the Presidency. And, of course, how the GOP is anti-woman.
Akin could single-handedly do more damage to America -- not to mention the Pro-Life movement -- than even President Obama has done so far. It's not about abortion -- it's about political stupidity.

Ok, I was probably asleep by then-my station plays it from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.-so I apparently missed that part. But I agree-he was trying to be even-handed about the whole thing.
