It is my choice to make. The seat is probably lost anyway if Akin does not withdraw.

Akin was NOT my choice of candidates in the first place. He was the choice of the Democrats that crossed party lines to vote for him. I do not owe him anything, let alone an apology.

Never said it wasn’t your choice to make. I note, though, your use of the word “probably” in the next sentence. Your vote might be the reason McCaskill remains a U.S. Senator, and the reason the GOP doesn’t control the Senate under a Romney/Ryan administrations, so there could be a lot riding on your decision.

>>I do not owe him anything, let alone an apology.<<

I don’t recall stating that you did. The author of the article did state, however, that the GOP establishment owes him one, and it does, for their insane over-reaction to the situation. As I said, there was some serious lemonade to be made over this lemon, but instead we picked the circular firing squad.

Just for the record: not every person who voted for Todd Akin in the August 7 primary was a Democrat. Many who have known him and followed his policies and votes for years, like myself, voted FOR him in the primary.

Just sayin'

It will only be lost if folks don't vote for him, whatever the issues.

You are not voting for anyone this election but YOURSELF and YOUR future. Freedom or slavery to the state. You do not have to like the candidates themselves but be aware that cumulative effect is at hand. To achieve a future of freedom, you had best help add to the chances that Republicans win the Senate. You are the one who will pay the price if this does not happen.
