I'm starting to wonder if this idiot Akin isn't actually a democrat plant. Why else would you get the story right back into the news when it had all but disappeared by having a press conference to say nothing?

Exactly. Watch what he says next....

he’ll probably call for Romney to drop out now.

That would be the greatest thing anyone has ever done if he did that.

Perhaps he just received a "gift" from RNC Headquarters

I think it is not outside of the realm of possibility. If he stays in then we lean on him three times harder. No surrender, we have no time for egomaniacs and especially Rat plants with what we have at stake right now.

How weird. Why does he need a press conference to say he’s staying in the race?

Something he has already said multiple times.

Reports are that he is just going to state he is staying the race.

Dude HAS to be a liberal plant. WHY would you stir up the hornets nest with a presser just to announce NOTHING has changed????

“I’m starting to wonder if this idiot Akin isn’t actually a democrat plant.”

DEMOCRATS were financing him in the Primary.
I think you have your answer.

He cannot possibly be holding one to say something like that unless he is even dumber than he has already shown himself.

I’m thinking he is out. Kind of a Friday news dump sort of thing.

Leaks would make me go to the microphone and say the exact opposite of what the plan had been.

Akin is one of the most conservative members of Congress, more socially conservative than Romney and more fiscally conservative than even Ryan. The public lynching by the GOP MUST STOP. If Romney isn’t getting fired for polling far under Obama in approval and for saying “he isn’t concerned about the very poor” then it’s pure hypocrisy to expect Akin to step down over this. It’s one gaffe in a long, successful career standing up for conservatism against the Dems and the RINOs. All conservatives and Republicans must unite to support Akin, defeat McCaskill and take over the Senate to reverse Obama’s agenda. GO AKIN!

Drudge did not have the link when I originally posted. The link was provided after the fact #4.

I don’t get it....why would he announce he’s staying in the race? Nothing’s changed. Very foolish on his part if this is the case.
