Did it ever occur to you that the party regulars don’t want him to resign because among other things there is no replacement available that could mount a challenge.

And who would these party regulars be? Missouri types, I presume. Did some bizarre accident befall Brunner and Steelman. Did Talent get an unlisted number? Oh, tell us great Suwamee.

What? Brunner and Steelman could not be replacements and gear up their campaign almost immediately? Especially with millions of dollars coming in from across the country?

Did it ever occur to anyone that the party regulars really don’t want him to resign because among other things, the Democrats have targeted the GOP with the "war on women".

Akin takes all the spears, while the GOP frames the Economy debate on the main stage. With Akins gone the GOP can be attacked, but not while we et al are still bashing Akins.

Akins will win.<
