Todd Akin - Do the right thing!

Todd Akin doesn’t appear to be too adept as sizing a situation up and realizing the cards are stacked against him. His stubborn pride may cost conservatives a chance to take the Senate seat that before was easily winnable. Rightfully or wrongfully, the facts are what they are and Todd Akin is the one who shot himself in the foot.

He states he was selected by the people of Missouri to represent them. Has he asked himself the question as to whether or not they would have voted for him had he made his statements before the primary? Shame on him for not doing what is right for those people who did vote for him in the anticipation that he would beat Claire McCassKILL. He has himself only to blame.

That being said, if there is not a third party candidate and Todd Akin doesn’t withdraw his name from consideration, then shame on the conservatives in Missouri and the Republican Party apparatus that withdraws all support from him. They will be as responsible as Mr. Akin in putting a liberal Democrat back in office. If you think the Democrats would do the same thing if the parties were switched you would be delusional.

Think Missouri before abandoning the one person who may be the only option you have to get rid of an Obama sycophant.
