In reply to the discussion: Todd Akin Staying In Missouri Senate Race ("I'm not a quitter") [View all]xmas74
(30,008 posts)41. I'm in Missouri.
If we keep Akin we'll win Missouri, no question about it. Too many people here are absolutely disgusted and appalled with his comments. Even conservatives here are begging him to leave the race and more than a few are saying that he needs to leave public service for good.
Now that we have Claire's reelection in hand, we need to take back Ike Skelton's 4th district. Vicky Hartzler currently has it but Teresa Hensley is actually a good candidate who I'm hoping will poll well-as long as the polls are independent polls. We need more seats in the House and the 4th was solidly blue until 2010.

Not a quitter, just abysmally ignorant -- do Repugs find that admirable ?

Good for him. Let him continue on and keep the insanity the RW believe about women in the spotlight!
