And who says Akin can't win. He is undefeated in state and federal races and just won the primary. He makes a statement on Sunday and apologizes several times for his verbal gaffe. By Monday the GOP is calling for him to withdraw. This hurts his chances to win more than what he said and apologized for.

And there is no guarantee that another candidate will win. Many of Akin's supporters (217,000 in the primary) may not want to vote for an Establishment appointed candidate. Loyalty begets loyalty. If you nullify their votes, people may not respond favorably.

People who stay home just because the candidate isn’t “pure” enough hate and damage America as much as Zero for they guarantee his re-election.
