I'm afraid that there is going to be TOO much pressure on Akin to step down before Tuesday 5pm

and if he does drop out of the race before Tuesday 5pm the GOP will be able to pick a new candidate to go up against Claire McCaskill

see here for details: http://www.democraticunderground.com/125173275

We need to KEEP Akins on the ticket so that McCaskill will have him as an opponent and she will be able to win easier !!!

1. Sure hope he doesn't;

we NEED the seat.

2. I doubt he will step down.

It rarely happens and I don't believe he will consider circumstances will require him to. They may push him to step down but it will be too late before he relents if he does. IMO Besides, there are less than 90 days before the election and would require the new candidate to start from scratch with everything.

3. Thanks for posting! Romney is now trying to distance himself from Akin. Won't work, mainly

b/c Ryan and Akin co-sponsored harsh anti-abortion legislation. Ooopsie! Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of sociopaths.

Obama campaign needs to tie Romney\Ryan to Akin now and not let up.

5. Debbie Wasserman Shultz has already started tying Akin to Ryan, see link below

p.s. And I read earlier that Claire McCaskill will supposed to be on Morning Joe in the morning.

7. Romney can run but he cannot hide. He got in bed with the teahadists and now

he owns them (or they own him, makes no diff).

Suggestion for new meme\line of questioning: The GOP supports rape. Why does the GOP support rape?

4. This?

6. Yep. Thanks for 'grabbing' it :) n/t

8. GOP timing sucks on this.

Why couldn't he keep his mouth shut til next Wednesday? Hopefully he is able to hold on til then. Either way the damage has already been done. This isn't the kind of thing women forget, or men either for that matter.

9. Given what's come (and gone) before, IMO, (R) voters have etch-a-sketch brains. nt

10. Screen Capture

I took a screen capture too, and I'm assuming other people have as well.

11. I just saved it on my computer and will keep it until the end of the month

I'm going to post it on Facebook right now

14. No we don't need to keep him on the ticket

first, if we tell them to dump him from the ticket, they will be in a bind if they try to do it themselves, because they don't like to do what we demand of them.

second, if he's dumped from the ticket, that will cause the ire of tea party members

third, as far as the politics go, if he gets dumped, it means our reasoning won, not his, not theirs. lots of Republicans believe his wacko theory --this will call attention to this, even more if he's dumped for it.

FINALLY: my maxim is that one shouldn't do things politically that make no sense to you. a candidate like him is odious and not having him on the ballot makes better sense.
