I think you are reading the situation in MO all wrong. I don’t care about other republicans, but I am personally embarrassed that a senate candidate would actually make such as inane, erroneous and politically moronic comment.
Akin is finished, his lead is gone, and now lags McCaskill by 10 points is what I heard last night. What a freaking moron. Just for the record, this is the first time in perhaps 30+ years I am calling for removal of a congressional GOP candidate. That is how bad this is in my opinion.
I will agree that a 3rd party or write in campaign will not work although it did work in Alaska recently. The best solution is for the moronic Akin to step down for the good of party and country.
There is no good for the party in it, only something to assuage your chagrin. His statement, while impolitic, was not quite wrong. Sending in a replacement now would ice the victory of McCaskill. If Republicans, including you, would shut up about it when speaking/writing to others, Akin would have the best available chance. Yall will surely get your wish and McC will be elected because yall will surely co-operate with the Left to make this one thing the only thing discussed in the campaign right up to November. Revenge sure as hell gets in the way of political aims for Republicans. One bright spot for you- you get to spend a lot of time after election Day smugly telling everyone “I told you so!”
