Post 3: “The female body has a way to shut down rape.”
Who elected this idiot? Post 4: If the liberals want to destroy you, you shouldn’t make their job easier, as he just did.
Post 6: Good grief, is that quote for real? If so, MO sure should have heeded Palin’s endorsement and gone with that Sarah Steelman gal instead! Post 9: Looks like Akin is trying to lose a slam-dunk election. Ugh.
Post 11: It looks like he is doing a good job of destroying himself, without any help from liberals. This looks like it may be another "sure win" senate race turning into a certain loss.
As disgusting as Akin was with those comments, I'd like to thank him very much for handing the election over to McCaskill. No way could he complain: "The liberals made that shit up! The liberals took me out of context!" The perfect toon for how Akin will explain his predicament:  |

Last edited Mon Aug 20, 2012, 04:36 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1) ... Other candidates in the August 2012 Republican primary include businessman John Brunner, author and business executive Mark Memoly, and former Missouri Treasurer Sarah Steelman. Despite losing some momentum and in a crowded field, Akin won the Republican nomination in the August 7 primary, 36% to 30% for his nearest challenger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_akin#2012_U.S._Senate_election I guess IF Akin were to drop out the GOP would pick one of them, I don't know. But considering Akin is current a Representative in the U.S. House - I think it would be hard for him to drop out of the senate race and still be able to campaign for his House seat without looking like 'he is guilty'. So, he might decide to tough it out. I don't have a clue. Perhaps he will lose his House seat too 
Edited to add: Wikipedia shows that Akin is 'retiring' from The House in order to run for the senate seat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2012#Republicans |
