Mark my words. The Republicans will come home to Akin.

[charlyvi]

The Senate is in the balance; all those Republicans who denounced his remarks will now fully support him. The Super Pacs will pour money into Missouri, and he will no longer be the black sheep of the party. Most of them agreed with his abortion views anyway, they just didn't want to support him publicly. They know the women vote is gone, so they will now double down on Akin. As I said, the Senate majority is too important for them to do otherwise.

Edit: grammar

[Ned_Devine]

1. probably right

[still_one]

2. That is no surprize his views represent the republican party

[charlyvi]

4. Exactly.

It was all for show, to try and get the female vote. Since that's blown up in their face, they will double down trying to get more angry white guys to the polls.

[smirkymonkey]

7. There are only so many angry white guys.

Unfortunatly, not enough these days to carry an election. I hope he f***ing loses big.

[charlyvi]

8. I know that. You know that.

But in the "Bubble" angry white guys rule the world. Sad, isn't it?

[AlinPA]

3. No question Akin will get full support by the GOP. Didn't Gingrich help him recently?

[charlyvi]

5. Yep.

Gringrich -- the intellectual of the Repub party.

[DonViejo]

6. Yesterday

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Ick

And I have been so enjoying not seeing the ads about Obama/McCaskill's Job Killing Policies.

I hope that you're not right.

[charlyvi]

10. You and me both.

But I fear the Republican will to power will prevail.

[SoapBox]

11. Agree, agree, agree...

I wholly believe you are correct.

They have that twisted "death wish" thing going on...no matter how WRONG, they will not back down.

Dems need to hammer, hammer, hammer away at Mr. "Rape Apologist" Akin.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. Yes they will. Missouri is decidedly more conservative now than it was in 2008.

I expect them to come crawling back.
