All true, but life isn’t fair and politics is worse. This isn’t about Akins. He’s a good guy and a good conservative, but he took himself out of the race. So, now the only way to beat the Evil Witch of Missouri is for him to bow out and for the Missouri Republican Party to replace him with another pro life conservative.
Bad news for Akin, but he only has himself to blame.
The alternative is even worse for Akin. If he stays in, he will be blamed for the outcome forever more. Instead of retiring from public service in dignity, he will be cast into the wilderness by Republicans and Democrats alike. Again, he will only have himself to blame (and maybe his wife and son).
this is the same poster crowds that hated everyone who could have defeat Obama in the primaries and advised everyone to
sit out the Gov race between Meg Whitman and Brown. Now the Ca GOP was killed off by Dem party redistricting plan that could have been blocked but wasn't by a GOP Governor.
Yup.
Agree it is best that he go and go NOW...but if he doesn’t I wouldn’t be so willing to throw this race to Claire without a fight.... hammer her hard with her votes for Obama care, increased spending and the rest until the electorate realizes she is more dangerous that the mis-spoken Mr. Akin.
If the Dems can pull a Toricelli to Lautenburg transfer no reason the Missourians can’t recover from this blunder. Who can take his place with better chance? A squishy old moderate like Bond?
