Of course, whacking him is not an option and should not be discussed at all. After all, they're not THAT bad.

EDIT: I failed to catch that today is basically the deadline to get a new candidate, so that's not an option... But somehow I know that Karl Rove played the closing scene of Network in his head at least once since Sunday. Sorry if I upset anyone.

[flamingdem]

19. bribery? n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. like someone said...he has absolutely nothing to lose. They have nothing he wants except

the senator spot. It would have to be something personal

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. He's just arrogant enough to stay in the race

He certainly doesn't have a thing to lose. And he's stupid enough to believe he can win.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. let's just hope it doesn't swing back where he gets the sympathy vote. remember diapers boy in LA.

I actually thought his apology seemed sincere. I am very much a cynic but I thought it was pretty good. It may sway
people....especially with the massive force people are piling on. that amazed me how quickly that happened.

17. he's toast

Politicians are like the Black Knight from MP and the Holy Grail ("... all right, we'll call it a draw...&quot : their main job is to project confidence in the face of self-sown whirlwinds. Maybe he's in some kind of Adolf-in-the-bunker type denial, which is natural for professional egotists, but when every figure in the national party is begging you to spend quality time with your family, well, either you poke your sponsors in the eye for 2.5 months and become an international pariah and hire a food taster, or you wake up to a cushy gig at the Heritage Foundation and believe whatever you want to believe.

18. Before it's over, the redefinition of rape will be a plank in the GOP platform.....

Don't believe me?....just watch. This is an "In your face, liberals" moment for the GOP !

[Care Acutely]

20. Let them.

Oh yes, let them tell millions of women they may or may not have been "legitimate" victims of rape.

[KharmaTrain]

21. I Predicted He'd Double Down...

...and he has. I predicted hate radio would rise to his defense and there's Hucklenutz to the "rescue". He's still whistling past the graveyard. I can see Karl Rove sitting on his doorstep begging him to quit as Karl's dream of paying off his big money benefactors by winning the Senate and keeping the House in corporate control goes up in smoke.

Tomorrow will be a very interesting day...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. yes...never before have we be privileged enough to actually see repuke dirty

laundry being aired so overtly.

let the games begin

[MADem]

26. He stepped right in it, for sure! nt

[Iggo]

27. Last gasp grab for cash.

He's out the door.
