Akin’s fault... he’s a doorknob...
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.
I will repeat what I have said recently...
here is an analogy
Obama is to Romney as McCaskill is to Akin.
How many of you are voting for romney ONLY because you hate this administration?
Pro-life rape victims and those who are the children of rape are speaking out IN SUPPORT OF AKIN! What is the matter with you people?????
It is because of illegitimate claims of rape that many people don’t get help!
