If a dog smells it and won't eat it, you probably shouldn't either. I wonder how much they pissed away on this guy.

Akin had better bail out himself...and soon. Repukes have very little time to replace him on the ballots (if that's even possible?).

No sufficient time for a replacement unless Steelman wants to be the sacrificial lamb.

Rove and his despicable PAC knew EXACTLY where Akins stood on this and still spent over a million in ads supporting him.

They are only pulling their support in hopes of forcing him to back out so they can pour more millions in ads for another equally despicable repub candidate.

KKKarl wasn't really a teabagger but he sometimes tried to play one behind the scenes.

McConnell says Akin should take time off with his family and consider dropping out. This guy is toast.

When KKKarl and Yertle throw you under the bus, you are radioactive beyond measure. Apparently there is someone too damaging for even those snake-fucking fart-eaters to tolerate.

Nelson Muntz is laughing at you, Akin.

More problems for the Republicans to try to resolve, albeit far too late to fix anything.

Akins is done, and McCaskell holds for another 6 more years - and then replaced by a true Democrat. She is still a DINO.

that they are oozing out and unfortunately for them, you can't fix Stupid or Clueless. Even Christine McDonnell is back on the scene!

But never "misunderestimate" the public's penchant for political denial.

mark your calendars, Akin just lost the election... and perhaps even Romney (due to Ryan's close relationship with Akin)

It's another when you try in desperation to grab your boss for help. He just tied himself to Ryan and therefore Romney and that's considered a no-no to Republicans. He will soon be gone.
