“If Akin were to drop out, the GOP will lose that race anyway. No way they can get a candidate in there that can clean up the mess and win in two months.”
Yes, this is correct. The Republican Establishment sandbagged Sarah Palin, Sharon Angle, and Christine O’Donnell. All evidence seems to indicate they want to sink Rep. Akin too.
NO, it does not!
Right now you have a choice.
You can beat the real opposition whose name is Claire McCaskill and prove to the GOP Establishment that they are no longer relevent.
Or
You can lose to Claire McCaskill and become the laughing stock of the Republican Party.
It's a clear choice and the only one.
Stop comparing Akin to Sarah Palin. There IS a Republican Establishment and they DO try to sandbag our candidates and your falsely connecting Akin to be just another victim of the GOPe hurts the credibility of those Conservatives like Sarah Palin who really have been sandbagged by the GOPe.
Akin is the victim of his own words. He admitted that by apologizing.
So far the only people Akin's supporters have been attacking have been other conservatives. Abosolutely nothing negative about his "opponent" Claire McCaskill. She's never even mentioned.
Emperor Palpatine If Akin beats her (which most doubt he can) he and his supporters will be able to claim they did it without the help of the GOP and the RINOs. It will be his victory and only his.
But if Akin loses to Claire McCaskill and/or Romney loses Missiouri and the general election, Akin and his supporters will own that defeat.
That's not only politics but taking responsibility is part of Conservatism. Man up!
