So the panicking is a bit overdone, people.

No. The Democratic Convention on Sept 3-5 will enshrine Akin into a household name. About 10 days away.

[Charles Henrickson]

Akin needs to be gone by Labor Day, i.e., before the Democrat Convention, which now will be all about "The Party of Akin's War on Women."

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.
