We republicans will be happy to stand behind any candidate with a brain. Akin’s brain is obviously non-functional.
Romney was fortunate to find Ryan.
As far a Akin goes, if he is replaced, will the next guy be any better? If you now think Akin will lose Missouri, do you think the new guy will win? Or, will he/she just be more fodder for a hostile media? Will the new guy/gal guarantee a win? Is it the desire for R's to continually shoot themselves in the foot and lose so they will invited to the D's great cocktail parties?
