Thanks.

Staying in.

Needs to say something nice about Romney though...

[onyx]

He’s in for the long haul.

Good luck.

[mrs9x]

This guy just doesn’t get it.

[TomGuy]

He's staying in.

Giving a 2-America's speech. [Sounds like John Edwards.]

[Hoodat]

what the hell is he waiting for? He is standing around clasping his hands together looking lost.

That would be because he is lost. Gotta hand it to McCaskill. She did a fine job at picking her opponent. Once again, Republicans show why they are the Stupid Party.

[SeminoleCounty]

Factually inaccurate....Sean Hannity, etc, etc, etc are not “pro-abort liberals in the GOP.” His conduct damaged the credibility of the pro-life movement - that’s not good for the cause, IMHO.

Anyone who mentions Sean Hannity as a “conservative”...si not a conservative. His whining and crybaby ranting for Akin to drop out were embarassing

[TonyInOhio]

Akin’s National Security/Border Security positions were too strong for Palin, judging by her other choices

Maybe, but it could be that she thought he was a bit crazy and would eventually say something stupid that would flip the race to McCaskill. I'd say she made the right call!

Amen. I understand the frustration of Akin’s defenders. Yes, life is unfair. Yes, there is a double standard. Yes, sometimes the punishment depends upon WHEN in an election cycle that a mistake or worse is made.

The bottom line is that none of that will be fixed by November 6.

Akin is a guaranteed Senate loss and we need every seat.

[GlockThe Vote]

I hate this man. He is apsychotic freak.

[mrs9x]

This guy is a doofus.

[onyx]

Thanks for the link and the thread, smoothsailing!

I think I’ve heard enough.

"We're here through November and we're here to win"

Welcome to Planet Todd.

[mwl8787]

Begin the write in process or abandon the seat.

[GlockThe Vote]

I am convinced he is an Obama plant - there is no way one can be this clinically insane otherwise and be in public life.

[Carriage Hill]

Worse than this?

[Martin Tell]

Time for a write-in candidate.

[Darth Gill]

I’m voting for Akin - you’ll just split the vote

[SeminoleCounty]

Maybe, but it could be that she thought he was a bit crazy and would eventually say something stupid that would flip the race to McCaskill. I’d say she made the right call!

---

Well, if she is truly “the conservative” you say she is...she will now support Akin instead of “finding a Third Party candidate” to help McCaskill win

[TonyInOhio]

Run, Todd, Run!
