Do you people never learn? People were saying this same crap about Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell when many people saw that they were basically unelectable. Akin is unelectable. What you’re not counting on is that a man who said something SO stupid, won’t say something equally stupid that will further hurt himself and the GOP.

It’s what stupid people do, stupidity is a habit, not a one-time isolated event and Akin is about as dumb as they come.

I don't always buy that silly meme. You certianly do let the media and Dems do your thinking. You want to change the thinking among the electorate? You don't fold over a dumb remark after the candidate has apologized, and let the enemy Dems set the agenda. If Akins left the Senate race the Dims would are still going to use his remark against the Rs. And Missouri is not O’Donnell's Delaware. The Missouri Senate election depends how Akin from here on out runs his campaign.

Here's a real bad habit. Repubs don't really know how to win but they certianly know how to lose. You guys are fragile porcelain always getting and looking to be broken.

This dope makes Sharon Angle (whom I strongly supported) and Christine O’Donnell (whom I really didn’t care about) look like Margaret Thatcher & Gold Meir by comparison.

I wouldn't say he's stupid - I'd say he's spent so much time preaching to the converted that he thinks other people will agree with him if he just repeats himself. He's learning the hard way that trying to get other people to agree with you is a hard, hard thing, especially if they already have firm, well-established beliefs. Another way of saying this? The guy's not really a politician - a politician can express his views in ways that everybody can agree with. This guy is the opposite of a politician - he talks about his views and even people who share his political alignment disagree with him.

Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell were very electable and would have won were they not sandbagged by the GOP Establishment. Conservatives win when they run as conservatives (and are not sandbagged by the GOP Establishment).

I am afraid the GOP Establishment aiming for a repeat with Rep. Akin.
