The RNC should have just called the guy on the phone...they made a two day story into a week...
Look, this is not just a matter of not talking about it and thinking it will go away.
Todd Akin is a political dummy. Instead of talking about Obama and the economy he talks about rape (and stupidly at that). He messed up this time, and he’ll do it again. Get him out or you GIVE the seat to Claire. You want that??
Hojczyk, I heard that the RNC tried to contact him, but he’s been cut off by his family - which is running his campaign, BTW.
It’s the World Series of US politics here, this guy made an unforced error, and he refuses to admit it and let another, better, player take his place. He’s thinking only of himself, and not the team, at this point.
The RNC and other GOP-E types should take their wimpy cowardly “opinions” and their all-prepossessing desire to make the world safe for their stock portfolios and for Muffy’s trust fund and stick them where the sun shineth not. If they refuse to back and fund Akin (chosen by Missouri GOP primary voters), then that is one more reason to never give RNC or RScCC one more nickel. Contribute to candidates WE choose not to candidates THEY choose.
