So then between now and September 25 we can expect the War on Akin to continue???

It seems to me that this has to end NOW -- not a month from NOW.

No, but I think at least until Labor Day (no pun intended), the last day before the Democrat Convention--there still is another week in which Akin could withdraw and minimize the damage.

I think we need to keep an eye on the polls between now and September 25. If Akin is tanking, and dragging down others with him--well, I don't know what else it will take to get through to him.

But I think we Republicans can and should have an internal, in-house discussion about Akin's viability as a candidate, like we're having here.
