No. The Democratic Convention on Sept 3-5 will enshrine Akin into a household name. About 10 days away.
If there is another poll or two next week that shows Akin down 10+ to McCaskill, i.e., regressing rather than making progress, I am HOPING that may finally get through to Akin.
This is NOT about some RINO "GOP-e" conspiracy against a pro-life social conservative. It's about not losing the election(s) because of one foot-in-mouth-disease candidate who gives the Dems exactly the ammo they want. There are several conservative, pro-life candidates here in Missouri who could take Akin's place quickly and mount a winning campaign against McCaskill--and take the ammo away from the Democrats nationally.
I voted for Akin. He is my congressman. I agree with his political views. But he is hurting the cause.
