Now that we have the lefty's report----yes, Tobin, I mean you!

Akin may not be the party's first choice, but you have to fight the war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had. Isn't that what ''they say?''

Akin's efforts may be a lost cause, but Newt sees the big picture value in trying.

It's time to un-circle the GOP firing squad and go after the Senate.

WHEN Akin wins, I hope everyone who ever jumped ugly on him- as proxy for the LEFT- remembers what they did and said.

And is NOT surprised when he will NOT caucus with us on matters of great import.

Lifetime A.C.U. rating of %97.24. DECADES of TRUE conservative service in Congress.

Steven Pagonas and the Duke Lacrosse team understand PERFECTLY what he meant by "legitimate".


You'll toss this guy under the bus, and scream Christie's "Conservatism" from the rooftops.

Color me confused.

Tobin, Franken stole his election with illegal, fraudulent, felon votes. Not a 'fiasco,' a crime. You , the left and the media are proud of it.

The man says "Constituents who want my support should write me a decent check." In other words, Todd Akin's vote is for sale.

Why the shot at Christie? You preferred Corzine as Gov of NJ? You do get that some states are blue, right?

Akin is a stupid selfish moron, the reason he was abandoned is he's poison to the republican brand, and could effect other senate races if he wasn't rejected by the party. If this was just about MO, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Akins appeal is only to social conservatives, that's not enough to win elections.

Yeah, #7....I live in Jersey and can actually watch what he DOES, not just SAYS.........

You know, like when he called Quatanani his 'friend', and any conservative who fears the implementation of Sharia a 'bigot'.
You know Quatanani, the imam who just called for Sharia in America?

Akin was the victim of a political hit. He wasn't very wise walking into the trap, but it was a trap. We should be supporting him.

He was fundamentally correct: If women can get an abortion only when they were raped, the number of false accusations of rape will increase. If a fetus is a person, that doesn't change when that person was conceived via rape.

I know. That's a hard case. Which is what Akin said. But other than the silly non-sense about the body preventing pregnancy (which may be somewhat true, but would be a slight decrease in the odds rather than a near-foolproof solution) he was on-spot for the answer to the gotcha question.

I bet from now on he will be more careful how he approaches hostile reporters.

Using your standard, #8, Obama should have been excised from the democrat party after his first gaffe.

Actually, Newt is precisely the type of figure who needed to enter the fray and give Missouri a shot, and I would hope that isn’t coincidence. The GOP has officially cast Akin aside for the “good of the party” and have painted themselves into a corner. Who better to take up the cause than Newt? The media can’t hurt him, he has big name recognition, the ability to bring in financial assistance and literally nothing to lose as this article points out.

Right now, McCaskill has one comment by Akin on which she can run. Akin has his record AND McCaskill’s record on which to run. If Newt can pull in some financial assistance without it appearing to come from the national GOP, Missouri can become completely winnable.

From all the hipe about getting out from the lying liberal media I assume he will win. Otherwise why would the left be so keen for him to quit?

If Akin should, by some miracle, win his election, he'll be a pariah when he gets to DC. He might as well join the Democraps now and be done with it.

No conservative Republican is going to come near him with a 10 ft. pole and his career is essentially over, even if he takes a seat in Congress.

Best thing he can do is to resign for "health" reasons as soon as ethically possible.

Akin will not drop out today.

So.. those of us in Missouri have one of two choices... either Akin...or McCaskill.

It is that simple. If you are mad at Akin...do you really want to have McCaskill in power..in power for 6 more years.. that's right.. for 6 more years.. a Senate term.

If you love Obamacare..vote for McCaskill.

If you feels Obamacare is a danger to your relatives and to the health of our country..then vote for Akin.

It comes down to that.

Once I pointed out to a passionate admirer of the late Teddy Kennedy that Kennedy was an idiot. The passionate admirer replied, "Yes, but he's MY idiot."

So it appear to be with Akin. He may be an idiot, but at this point, he's our idiot.

Yeah #9
As a fellow New Jerseyan, you are so right!! I remember that bigot remark. What a jerk. We should not relax our standards of politicians because the one before the current occupant was a world class criminal, which is what we had in Corzine.

#17, next tomato pie at Delorenzo's is on me!!!!

Several quick points:

1) Toobin's animosity toward Newt Gingrich is the primary theme in this article, not Todd Akin's chances to defeat Sen. McCaskill.

2) Why didn't Toobin also mention that Mike Huckabee remains strongly supportive of Akin?

3) If we Republicans don't support Akin, we're giving Harry Reid a CHEAP and UNDESERVED victory in the Senate races.

4) And the Dems can use money saved on the Missouri race to help defeat us elsewhere.

5) But guess what? I got an e-mail from Sen. Jim DeMint's SCF this morning with a survey asking whether the SCF should support Akin. I not only replied with a resounding YES! but also promised to ante up some funds when Akin is added to the SCF stable.

6) In Missouri, if we don't support Akin, it's automatically Obama's rubber stamp, McCaskill. At the national level, if we flag in our support for Romney,....

7) If you have any financial resources beyond a reasonable living amount, iff you have any shoe leather or voice left in turning out the Romney/Ryan vote...it means you didn't do enough for the victory.

8) And you will be a BIG disappointment to John Roberts -- who left it for us to do.

And there are others looking on who will be devastated if we fail

AB

Akin won the primary so support him.... anyone is better than McKaskill.
After all a vote for McKaskill is a vote for Reid.

The last poll had Akin behind by 6%. That means he's about dead even.

He's going to win this thing. DeMint, Newt and Huckabee are all supporting him. The Tea Party will turn out for him.
