We need to BEAT THE DEMOCRAT WITCH and take the Senate. This race was in the bag 2 days ago. Deadline to replace him is tomorrow. There is no time to ruminate on it and do polling to see if he can still win. He needs to stop thinking of himself and quit before it's too late. The country comes before this 1 man.”

Not going to happen.

I opened my email today and found this:

Click the link for more details, but this shows he's not quitting the race:

“This weekend I made a mistake. I used the wrong words in the wrong way. What I said was ill-conceived and it was wrong and for that I apologize. The people from Missouri who elected me know I’m not perfect. They don’t make perfect people. We all make mistakes. When you make a mistake you to tell people you’re sorry, you don’t try and hide it. I made a mistake and I’m sorry. I have just begun to fight and I’m in this race to the end! We must work together to replace Claire McCaskill in the Senate.”

Like it or not, Akin is the Republican nominee for Senate from Missouri this year. Only he can change that by quitting and he's said today that he's not quitting.

Now if we're going to ask for people to quit, my name on that “please quit” list starts with “R” and ends with “Y.” I think most Freepers will agree with me on that. But it's not going to happen either. The Republican primary voters made their choice, and if we don't like it, tough. Better luck next election.

Wrong. He’s “praying” about it tonight, announcement tomorrow.

What’s “tough” is his shattered dream to be a Senator. If his selfishness costs us this seat his career is over whether he likes it or not.

If he is not much stupider than I think he will do the right thing.
