Give it a week for the outrage to die down, and for Akin to make his case and his apology tour. Then we’ll have a better picture of where it stands.

It's been 5 days. He was down "only" 7 in the PPP poll when corrected for the 9 point oversample of Republicans. Now he's down 10 in a new poll.

The writing is on the wall in 10 ft high letters.

Yes, it's been five days. That poll was done after what? One day, two, maybe? At the height of the outrage?

Which is why I said, give it a week, and see what's going on.
The GOP may not like him right now, but they may not have a choice here. But they are welcome to shoot themselves in the foot. Shoving him out the door right now will not save anyone any more than all the distancing and refudiation of the last five days has stopped the Dems from connecting and reconnecting Akin to R/R and anyone else who's pro-life.
