“this situation is completely salvageable”
Are you serious or are you just being argumentative?
Have you read this article? Do you understand the impact of his losing support so massively among moderates and independents?
He has made his reputation and he has to live with it, there is no turning his image around. Can you tell me how he does this? How he pulls his negatives up? How does he gets his message out against the constant barrage of rape and rape related questions on TV radio and during the debates.
Akin is a dead man walking.
He’s toast, flatlined, deceased, a former candidate. He’s joined the choir celestial. It’s over. The McGaskill people will harp on this all the way to victory and it’s all unnecessary. If Akin can’t think on his feet any better than that, he doesn’t belong in office.
re: Those elements of the GOP that are cutting off Akin because he doesn’t lockstep to the progressive republican movement are the real jerks.

So is it your political assessment that two other completely capable pro-life conservatives, Brunner and Steelman, would be cut off for not getting in lockstep with the so-called progressive Republican movement? That amazes me. The party is cutting off Akin because he is not progressive? How is that the party supports conservatives in races all across the country? How is it that the party is behind the pro-life plank in the platform? And behind fiscal conservatism? My political assessment is that the party would support either one immediately and overwhelmingly, and conservatives from around the country would send lots of money to another completely capable pro-life conservative. The problem is not the party; it is Akin.
