He's fighting the good fight. If he's not on the Akin payroll, he should be, he's the best friend that Akin has right now. Unfortunately, it's a losing position. Akin can't win and if he continues, we will see the Conservatives serve up yet another unearned victory to the evil Democrats. Go Uncle Chip, McCaskill and Akin love you so.
I hate to say it but at this point the biggest danger to the conservative movement is Akin himself. The sooner he steps aside the better off America will be. The clock is ticking. Soon he will own the defeat even if at some point he does move off the stage and give another conservative a chance.
Akin will own the defeat of even his replacement.
