I do not know what the issues were in the Republican Primary in Missouri. I do not know, were I a Missourian--and this really was my business, rather than merely something I am witnessing--whether he would have had my support in the Primary, or not. But this absolute panic for others, many not from Missouri, either, to force him to quit, is very, very poorly considered.
You are creating a division that does not need to happen. The man needs to counsel with his supporters, make his decision, and then everyone needs to move on. Any other course simply magnifies any damage from his poor choice of words.
Of course, I know that the Leftist Democrats will try to make hay out of this. But people on our side should not be helping them by this internal squabble.
Again, I know nothing about Mr. Akin or any of the other things he believes in--or whether I could personally support him, if I did. I do understand tactics.
