Akin screwed us all by staying in the race. He is not irreplaceable but every day that passes makes it more difficult. Somebody should have grown up a long time ago. He’s a jerk.

I don't disagree at all with you that Akin is not irreplaceable. We are all replaceable. But I see too that if the GOP would end the pile-on and help move the focus back to what's wrong with the McCaskill/Reid side of the aisle, this situation is completely salvageable. Those elements of the GOP that are cutting off Akin because he doesn't lockstep to the progressive republican movement are the real jerks.
