It’s just not going to stick this time. Besides every republican candidate on earth has disowned and disavowed Akins. That’s why it would tickle me to see him win. Who would he be beholden to? He would make em squirm. That’s the kind of senator we all say we want - un-beholden and his own man! Just my nature. Contrarian all the way.BR<> It is sticking and hurting other Senate Candidates. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2922186/posts

I don't like party hacks. I also don't like selfish schmucks too stupid to run in any competitive area. Akin is tailored to his current district, but doesn't know what to do outside of his Evangelical bubble. He lost 12 points in a weekend.

“I don’t like party hacks”

I’m not saying I like the guy. I usually go with Palin’s picks. But Akins’ position amuses and intrigues me. He may be a party hack, but now, without any party support, he can stick it to the rest of the party hacks should he win. I like it when a guy is in that position and can overcome the odds.

I’m sure this guy would have been Missouri’s senator anyway before his careless remark. And we’d be stuck with him as well as his being beholden to the RNC and its cash. Now, if he wins; it’s all his on his terms with middle finger extended to the RNC. Personally,I don’t think he is done for mostly because his opponent is McCaskill.

It is also interesting that Huckabee is jumping in to raise cash for Akins, and Huckabee has chided the RNC and Crossroads for abandoning Akins.
