Will Todd Akin cost the GOP a chance to repeal Obongocare?

[Zxereus]

We all know the only real chance of ridding the country of a European healthcare system is to have 51 votes in the Senate.
Up until this week we were being practically handed Claire McCaskill's seat due to her ineptness and unpopularity.

Enter the oaf known as Todd Akin, and thanks to this selfish moron it's now doubtful we'll have any decent chance of taking the seat.

It will now be that much harder to gain the 51st seat, not only because of this particular race, but this idiot has now given the Dems an issue they can exploit that could have far reaching consequences well beyond the borders of Missouri.

But God told him to run

Well he's obviously listening to god then, and not his party or constituents.

 

[jillian]

don't you mean 'romneycare'?

If you wasn't going to vote for mccaskill before, tell me what exactly has changed? This coming election has little to do with who is running. It has a lot to go with removing the idiots that got this country in its current mess. McCaskills record or what she did speaks much louder then the words of the guy running against her (he did apologize)

I, today, don't see a way for McCaskill to win ... To me, this is democrats grasping at anything that they think will give them hope

They can hope all they want, most people all ready know who they are voting for, baring police booking photos, that's not going to change

with ~ 3 months left till the elections there is plenty of time for Akin or McCaskill to rebound or sink lower ...

the chances for the Rs to win the Senate is still theirs for the taking.

will they come up short? - doubtful but that still will not end ACA without defeating Obama and also, reconciliation is a budgetary maneuver that may not work to defeat the HealthCare law either.

good luck on ACA (making it better) because it is here to stay whether rightwingers like it or not.

The guy is still leading McCaskill in spite of himself and in 2 months, it will be a distant memory. Missouri is feed up with her.

Why was I banned ?

Why is Aiken still ahead! This should have sunk his chances and it hasn't.

Either people agree with him, or no one cares what he thinks about abortion.

I'm a republican and I don't see how I can vote for Akin now. It's a very difficult spot he has put me in. He was always known for incendiary comments but now he's also tagged with selfishness and don't even get me started on the god stuff. I usually don't care about someone's religious beliefs but he is using them as his only excuse to continue when everything and everyone else is telling him to get lost.

Very tough situation indeed

 

[Eaglewings]

I find it sad for the people the republicans throw under the bus after they do not want them anymore. Comes to mind: Bush, Palin
Although I forgot Reagan raised from the dead for them.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Bush doesn't want any attention and Palin is cited daily by republicans. The only thing under the bus is your reasoning

 

[Katzndogz]

If democrats can vote for a convicted felon to get rid of a democrat, then they will vote for Aiken as well as republicans who want to get the democrat out of office.

What makes you think he is still ahead?

IF Akin is only speaking out loud the GOP's position on reproductive rights, why is "everything and everyone else telling him to get lost"? Hell, every bill having to do with rape introduced by Paul Ryan in his 12 years was co-written by Todd Akin. Why would Ryan now try to distance himself from him?

I've never complained about local polls only national ones. Take it or leave it.

You'll be happy to know I was just informed that they oversampled gopers by 9 points. Poll is now trash imo
