Gomer shows up again to screw the rest of us over. I'd bet anything that the only reason Akin stayed around is because Huckabee told him he'd raise his cash for him.

[editor-surveyor]

This is Huck’s best moment.

It’s about time he stood up for pro-life conservatives.

This attack on Akin is from Satan himself.

[fifedom]

This is really sad. The $$ spent by McCaskill and the Rats on Akins primary campaign are paying off big time. Not only do they get a loose cannon who puts his mouth in motion before he puts his brain in gear. The guy implodes only a few days after the primary.

Now, as is clear from this and other threads here, they have succeeded in blowing apart the tenuous coalition between the social conservatives and, for lack, of a better word, fiscal conservatives.

Like a lot of people here, I see myself as both but there is a lot of tension between the two groups. I do not buy into this "GOPe" crap but many here do.

Now we get fools like Huckabee fanning this fire and apparently hoping it breaks apart the GOP.

Well, as the signers of the Declaration of Independence knew, we better hang together or we will all hang separately. The only thing sadder than the sorry spectacle being played out here is the shape of the U.S. after four more years of Obama. Even if Romney wins but the Rats still control the Senate, his hands will be tied and God knows what will happen if some of the conservative Supremes retire or die.

All of this for only a few million dollars.

I think Mr. Akin stumbled over his words, but from what I can tell, didn’t mean any harm. I agree with Huckabee on this one. Doesn’t necessarily look like a substantive issue. Looks like a feeding frenzy.

[RKBA Democrat]

Nice to see that the sunshine conservatives are out for a jaunt.

[Tzimisce]

McCaskill needs to LOSE.

I don't care to who.

[chessplayer]

Winnable race? What’s the Huckster smoking?

[Vaquero]

I wake up each day thinking this is the day that Aiken does the right thing for Missouri and America and drops out.

but NO...this selfish, female orifice(even though he doesn't know how one works), just digs in like the typical politician he is.

[Whats-wrong-with-the-truth]

I'm not a Huckabee fan but he is right and I will add to what he's said. The only reason the RNC and the rest of the establishment republicans (romney, palin, hannity, limbaugh, etc.) have called for Akin to step down is because they are freaking out. They are scared to death that real "Conservatives" like Akin, Cruz and others will actually succeed in winning enough seats in both houses to stop the hemorrhaging caused by morally deficient, anti-American, pro-globalist presidents like Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now the enemy combatant from Kenya, Barack Hussein obama.
The policies of obama are, in many cases, no different than those romney has supported in the past. Oh... I know. romney is espousing different policies than his record actually shows he's supported in the past but the fact remains that romney's agenda is no different than obama's. (Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. I'm not fooled.)
The only way we can stop our nation from becoming a footnote in history books is if we can elect good, moral, principled Christian men and women to serve in both the House and Senate. Candidates like Akin, Cruz and others will turn romney's agenda on its head and make him a lamb duck or... if there are enough of them, force him to do the right thing.

My prayers, encouragement and support have been and will continue to be heading in Akin's way.
I would much rather have a Senator that occasionally misspeaks then repents and apologizes than have a bumbling fool for vice president that blurts out one asinine gaff after another and is too stupid to even know he is chewing on his own foot.
