Akin has seven hours left to decide

[panader0]

It's a countdown. Should be interesting.

[Sheepshank]

1. He should make a stand, and stay on the ticket n/t

[MoonRiver]

3. Yeah, I want to see some principle here!

[oldtime dfl_er]

2. Hey, no means no

and yesterday he said no, he wouldn't quit.

6. maybe someone will force him out against his will, anybody seen Rove?

[democrat_patriot]

4. He's already decided. He's staying in.

He's getting support by:

Mike Hickabee
Family Research Council
Kirk Cameron (HAHAHA) on Today Show
Majority of RW radio talk show hosts

It's a national issue - but only voters in MO get to decide his fate - they seem pretty nuts to me. They I believe support his position on no abortions ever. Ever.

It' spinning back around....

5. Why would he quit?

If the polls are correct, then a frighteningly large portion of MO agrees with him. At this point, conservatives would vote Sandusky into office if they thought he had a chance of beating a Democrat.

8. large portion of MO agrees

I've long ascribed to the notion,that the State of Misery is,indeed,the "Show me State".

As in Show me how to drive....Show me how to use reason and logic...Show me a way out of my inbred stupidity......

[Cicada]

7. akin has until sept 25 to quit

the only cost after today is paying for reprinting ballots. I guess that might be a lot but I'm sure Karl Rove will pick up the tab. So don't get too happy if our beloved congressman Akin does the right thing today.

9. No, he's got five more weeks if he can get a judge on his side (not hard there).
