Akin is not an appropriate Senatorial candidate because he is dumb. As in literally stupid; very modest IQ. The Democrats know this, which is why they put in 1.5 MILLION to support Akin against other primary candidates. Those defending Akin seem to think that it’s OK for conservatives to be presented by an idiot.

As for Rove, he has to resign...from what? He’s not a public official, nor is he running for anything. He’s not an officer of any publicly traded company. He does have a position in a private organization that is providing tens of millions to support conservative candidates across the country. NOBODY involved in that organization - and none of its donors - want him to resign. And if he does go, he takes his skills and his relationships with donors with him, and the money starts to dry up.

Is that what you want? And all to defend a certifiable idiot & his theory of the magic uterus?

While I agree that Akin should withdraw, I don’t agree with the epithets. I think he is smart enough, a good man and a good conservative but should be more judicious with his comments. The question is - was this a one time slip or are we in for more of the same as Akin grows older? Or even in the last few weeks of the campaign?

I think only Akin and his staff really know how well he functions, particularly under extreme stress such as a debate.

I only know that we do not get any “do overs” in this election, and if Todd Akin stays in and messes this up we are all going to be grieving.

I was harrassed when I said something like that earlier, so please don’t bother to flame me again. You can save all the “agist” comments too, because I am 5 yrs. older than Akin, and I am not running for a vitally important seat in the senate. I subscribe to the Clint Eastwood quote “a man has to know his limitations”.

As for Rove, if he is employed in any way by the Republican party, I think he should be terminated forthwith.

I hope that FOX news will at least censure or suspend him.
