Nope, 100% wrong at this point. McCaskill is beatable, and with support even a damaged Akin could do it. The GOPe is going to ensure that Akin loses, now, for what ever reasons they have. Personally, I don't think it has much to do with his comment. Rather, it's more to do with his politics being too far right for them.
With the attempt to change the RNC rules in order to give the GOPe the ability to cut out, steam roll, or ignore anyone they don't like, the noises of how the pro-life crowd has hijacked things, the continued non-support of candidates who are too far away from center, the bashing of the TEA party, etc; it's an unmistakable pattern.
I voted for Brunner, so Akin is not my first choice. There it is, though; it doesn't look like he's not getting out any time soon, so we better support him, of McCaskill wins.
Th RNC backs lots of pro-life candidates with conservative records like Akin’s. The problem is his stupidity and hubris, not his record.

Agreed. This is meant as instruction and warning. He is going to be made into an example.
I agree, I will vote, and it will be for whoever the R candidate is at election time... but the question went to fault... I said it was Akin’s. Akin shifted the whole emphasis, singlehandedly, away from the central issues of the economy the question of “whose America do you want, Obama’s, or ours”... totally derailing the momentum on our side. For this, he is a doorknob, all other issues aside.
