I wish Akin would have exited the race, not because I thought he was a bad person but because I thought he destroyed his chances of winning with the statement he made. Yes, that is unfair and it wouldn’t happen to a Dem, but its the world we live in. However, the fact that I wish we had another candidate does not mean that I think Akin is some monster or that he isn’t a good, God-fearing person who would do a good job IF he got in. I would support him and vote for him if I lived in MO. I still think he’s going to lose and people are living in a fantasyland if they think he can somehow win. And when he does lose, its not going to be because the “GOP Establishement” didn’t back him, its going to be because of his gaffes.
But it is past time to worry about what he said or didn't say. All that matters now is who wins the election. The line in the sand has never been clearer. In fact it is neon..
