When he jumps out of the race we need a money bomb to whoever will be placed on the ballot (hopefully John Brunner) AND we need to hammer Claire as the LIBERAL EXTREMIST Ubama butt-girl that she is!

The Hill, and Firedoglake (lib website) saying he’s announcing he’s STAYING IN

Buzz. Wrong answer! You didn't click the link Drudge provided:

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/245387-akin-to-hold-press-conference-this-afternoon

Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) will hold a press conference somewhere in St. Louis County at 5:15 Eastern Standard time.

He will announce he's staying in the Missouri Senate race, multiple news outlets are reporting.

The more Romneybots and the GOP-e pile on, the more likely he is to receive even a greater backlash of sympathy, remain in the race and the more the attacks on him will boomerang on Willard by angering social conservatives.

I can’t imagine him holding a news conference to announce he is going to stay in the race. He has done that on Hannity’s show already but weirder things have happened. He should have done this on Monday. I hope if indeed he does drop out that his name can be removed from the ballot. I guess a judge will decide that.

Perhaps he just received a "gift" from RNC Headquarters

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!

I just spoke with a person that worked on Todd’s campaign here in Missouri. That person could not believe Todd said what he said. He agreed that Todd’s goose is cooked. His name will forever be associated with this stupid “legitimate rape” statement he made. Todd is finished in the Republican party, and just needs to take his engineering degree and fade into the sunset!

About friggin time if I assume this is the correct decision. I respect his belief in Providence, but at some point you realize it’s not meant to be!

That’s just the way it is. I will be very upset if he doesn’t drop out....we need this.

Maybe the Ras poll on Romney in the state is what it took. We will see.

It could be yet another “I’m still running” announcement though.

No, he just said he is staying in. Dave Glover about to mock him to scorn on 97.1

Well he is staying and that is it. It is still early and if this happened 2 weeks before the election then forget it but hopefully he will recover. This election is about 0bama and I hope people will vote accordingly.

For all of you who thought Akin was stupid, he just managed to get a bunch of free air time and the rapt attention of millions just by calling a press conference on a Friday afternoon.

He should do this every Friday until the election. It's time to make the media dance to our tune, rather than the other way round.

We need to start focusing on something other than savin’ Akin’s bacon.
