And if he drops out, they'll what, send us a nice fruit basket? It cannot be expressed how irrational and ignorant it is to plan a Republican campaign around the idea that you can do ANYTHING to get the MSM to stop attacking you. That's like the battered wife who keeps going back to the abusive husband thinking she can get him to treat her better this time.

We will end up seeing more of Akin on TV than Romney or Ryan between now and November and the word economics will rarely if ever be mentioned.
