RNC chair Rinse Prius on Akin: "Time for Mr. Akin to step aside. He could be tied; we're not gonna


be sending him a penny".

Hahahaha. Both of those cheese dicks will be unemployed after November. After the thrashing Rinse Prius got from Tweety the other day, and after the GOP loses the election, I'm guessing they won't be needing his services.

If he pulled out of the race then I don't think they could get a replacement.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

More complicated but possible.

<SNIP>

Close of business Tuesday was the deadline under Missouri election laws for candidates to withdraw from the ballot. Akin could still withdraw by Sept. 25 with a court order, according to the Missouri secretary of state’s office.

The elections office, which is headed by the Democratic secretary of state, could object to the court order for a withdrawal, but no candidate in recent history has been denied a court order because of objections from the election officials, according to the secretary of state’s office.
