There really is no way to force him out. He did win an election. If Claire ran ads for him, if it was snowy that day, if he tricked everyone, if his opponent got caught with a live boy or a dead woman. All that matters is the numbers. There really is no system for a party to force someone out that won that im aware of.

BUT, they can repudiate this dimwit and utterly disavow him and promise to marginalize him in every way they can. NO committes, his legislation gets nowhere, no cash, no assistance,,etc.

He is clearly too uneducated for the job, and is our version of Shiela Jackson Lee. She is a blathering idiot, but has the right skin color and mentality for her district. Akin is a divinity student who is great on abortion, but is otherwise a dim bulb. He is surfing that prolife position.

It would be better to have a prolifer with intelligence and accomplishments.

I find it hard to believe that there are not provisions within the state party to allow for the forcible replacement of candidates, regardless of whether they won a primary.

Oh God....a minister.

Where I came from back in the families usually sent the idiot son ass of the family into the church.

Guess the Akin family did the same.
