Here are two recent articles on Todd Akin’s faith that may be relevant. As I think we all know by know, he's a graduate of Covenant Theological Seminary and a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).

I am quite a bit more conservative than Todd Akin theologically, but it looks to me as if this is a man who wasn't particularly liked by the mainstream Republican establishment and they're now trying to push him out.

Akin blew it, big time. No question about that. The only question left is what do we do now that he won't leave on his own. I don't think there's any answer to that question that doesn't involve Akin which won't lead to a McCaskill re-election.

Remember Chick fil A.

People are fed up with Political Correctness. This blunder will pass. People want strong leaders not weak kneed surrender monkeys.
