NRSC Takes A Fresh Look At Todd Akin

Source: TPM

With the deadline passed for Todd Akin to drop out of the Missouri Senate race, the National Republican Senatorial Committee says it's taking a fresh look at the contest.

“There is no question that for Missourians who believe we need to stop the reckless Washington spending, rein-in the role of government in people’s lives, and finally focus on growing jobs in this country that Todd Akin is a far more preferable candidate than liberal Senator Claire McCaskill," NRSC Executive Director Rob Jesmer said in a statement. "As with every Republican Senate candidate, we hope Todd Akin wins in November and we will continue to monitor this race closely in the days ahead.”

to any Republican who endorses or supports Todd Akin, that they are PART-OWNERS of his "legitimate rape" theory. YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!

Ditto for all of his other stoopid comments!

A month ago, they wanted his head on a chopping block, even though they supported what he said. Now they have no choice.
I know one thing. There are 10 democrats in my family that will never support this idiot. Let's go blue, Missouri!!!!
