I predict that as time goes on, people will see things more clearly and Akin will regain the support he needs. I’ll bet most Republicans will reason that a failure to vote is a vote for McCaskill.
Be patient. Trust God.
All of the networks are reading from the same Dem talking points. After Sandra Fluke was made a mockery of, this has now put 'women's reproductive rights' back on the front burner, elbowing out the real issues that R&R were gaining traction with - economy, unemployment, national debt, Medicare, rising gas prices, etc.
Right or wrong .. apology or not ... Akin needs to stop being a distraction, and he does that by withdrawing from the race.
We can only pray, but Akin would have lost my vote simply for refusing to step down and putting the cause in jeopardy.
I don’t like people who are so attached to power that they lose site of the cause for which they are elected. That alone makes Akin’s a loser in my book.
