If only the GOP nominated Sarah Steelman.

Or Brunner, but he's rather boring, albeit able to self fund.

Sabato claims NRSC is pulling out. Crossroads already pulled out.

If so, Akin needs to drop out now.

Just putting it out there, but if Akin made these comments in 2004, would the reaction by the GOP be the same? T'was the height of the religious right after all, and FRC are defending him now.

As someone that is religious and opposed to abortion (though with exceptions), I have to say that's a really asinine thing you just said.

As I said, just putting the idea out there.

As an example of just how big this is, the BBC, which rarely talks about US Politics, had Akin's comments as one of the lead headline stories for the six o'clock news. I just checked a second ago and they're doing an extended interview with their US correspondents over just how damaging Akin's remarks were.
