I can only think of 1 reason to hold a press conference and hopefully it is to bow out and cut off the bleeding for the GOP in MO...

He has said that already. Why hold a press conference to repeat himself?

We get it, Todd... you’re staying in...you have your “principles”... God wants you there.

So, take the attention off yourself and kindly set about your task.

I sincerely hope so. He's dragging everyone down with him.

Agreed. But given the level of a$$hattery out of this foolish fellow already, just about anything is possible.

Because he's been getting lots of attention lately and he's diggin' it. Maybe he'll do this weekly.

I agree the first time wasn’t “legitimate”....this is it. They have reached a solution to replace him. I would bet.

The news release did not state what the news conference was about. The Associated Press and CNN report that Akin will stay in the race.

Grrr...

He should drop out even if he hadn’t said those things. He could have the worst comb-over I’ve ever seen.

I’m in his congressional district and one of his senior campaign staff spoke at the local Pacyderms Club about 12:00. Based on that, I seriously doubt he’s pulling out. His support at the meeting was near 100% and his fundraising is beating his own goals.
