You do you have to give credit to McCaskill and the Democrats for picking their opponent and just watching for Akin to blow up.

Legitimate candidates don’t do this. I, personally, have no personal knowledge of legitimate candidates behaving so.

What goes around comes around. I’m sure we can find some Democrat running in a primary somewhere who makes Al Franken seem stable by comparison. And we’re gonna make sure he has the biggest Primary war chest EVER!

Considering how low down and dirty the dems are, it would not surprise me if Akin has received threats by the democraps / Chicago mob to not drop out. Stay in and stay healthy.

Well on a positive note, the lastest PPP poll has Scott Brown leading Elizabeth Warren by 5 points. This senate seat was widely favored to flip back to the Democrats so if Brown's lead holds, it will neutralize the Missouri train wreck and put us back where we were with respect to taking the senate back.

If you think the damage is limited to Missouri Senate, think again. This kind of crap is already out there . . .

Silver lining-by staying in the democrats can expend their energy on Ryan rather than finding a new target.

F’ing asshole. I hate Akin with a passion for being so selfish.

On the other hand, a potential hurricane may hit Tampa next week....so the GOP may have enough problems already during the convention.

*Sigh*

I guess all we can hope for now is that the Democrats overplay their hand (as they often do) and drive sympathy votes to Akin.

Barack sh!t!

Sharon Angle and the witch from Delaware would have been better than the twits running the Senate. Even this guy will be better than McCaskill.

I predict that as time goes on, people will see things more clearly and Akin will regain the support he needs. I’ll bet most Republicans will reason that a failure to vote is a vote for McCaskill.

Be patient. Trust God.

Oh, well.

Shift funding to other races and hope and pray for the best, I guess.

And I completely agree about McCaskill`s strategy here. Before all this I considered her a dunce, and was I wrong. We can despise her, and I do, but from a solely strategic standpoint, I am highly impressed.

I hope Republicans would watch and learn, because they could win a lot more races if they had campaign tacticians like McCaskill`s. They did extensive opposition research, honed in on their target of choice, gave him an artificial lift, handed him just enough rope to hang himself (they didn`t even have to form the noose) and set themselves up to move in for the final kill against a withered, weakened and isolated opponent.

What the HELL were Missouri Republicans thinking? It’s not like Akin was unopposed, he had decent conservative opponents in Steelman and Brunner. Did they fall for McCaskill’s ads? I’d like to think we’re not that stupid...
