Yes, Akin’s raised money, the DNC and McCaskill people have promised to keep him fully funded until September 25.
He is a doddering, delusional kook.
“He’s generated 150K in small donations in 48 hours.”
Around $100K , in a week, against a candidate who has $10 million in the bank, and he now faces being cut off from NRSC support because he is a non-viable candidate.
” Nearly 7K signatures on his petition.”
So he has a coterie of true-believers but a majority of Missouri voters say he should step aside and his fav/unfav ratings are 2 to 1 against.
” 18K likes on Facebook.”
Actually, I saw lots of people on sunday write horrible scathing things about Akin on his facebook page and preface it with “I cant believe I had to say I ‘like’ this guy to say this, but ...” so how many are real supporters and how many are libs coming over to mess with him. When you read the comments, you realize how much of a punching bag the democrats have made of him.
” Words of support from Congressmen”
LOL, lots of Congressmen privately and publicly are asking him to do the right thing and bow out.
“and grass roots leaders.”
Aside from a few so-con leaders, they are universally hoping he’d quit.
” I would be surprised if he withdrew.”
Then he has thrown way our chance at this Senate seat. A big loss and done for the selfish reason that he doesnt want to quit despite his huge blunder, because he might It would be a huge disappointment.
“We need firm resolve and conservative values in the Senate, and Akin possesses them both.”
Akin lacks the ability to persuade others to conservative principles and values. More appealing politicians like Ryan, Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Sen Johnson will have to carry the torch...
Whether Akin stays in and loses or quits, his future is not in the Senate.
“The Republicans may have negotiated to have their way after all.”
GOOD! Maybe we can win this seat from McCaskill after all.
