Time's up for Todd Akin
The YouTube videos and advertising, hitting Todd Akin hard, began in earnest last evening, apparently:
Dems Release The Hounds As Deadline For Akin To Drop Out Expires
"The Missouri Senate race kicked off in earnest Tuesday when Republican candidate
Todd Akin affirmed for the last time that he will not drop his Senate bid at a press conference in St. Louis...
...Incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill posted a hard-hitting TV ad featuring Akin’s “legitimate rape” comments to her campaign website Tuesday."
This is the one video, however, that I think is especially tough for, if not damning of, Mr. Akin:
Between the hits Mr. Akin will be taking from now on, from his opponent(s) and the lack of support from a larger group of Republicans and conservatives, it looks as though he will have a tough, if not impossible campaign ahead.
After writing the above, I found this video, just posted on YouTube:
To Mr. Akin and his staff, I can only give Margo Channing's advice: "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night."
Pass the popcorn.

Stick a fork in the entire Republican party. They are done.
So it seems.
Too bad, too, since every nation needs opposing parties and views. They need to come back down to reality, I think.
Yes, but the loyal opposition is supposed to be loyal.
You bet.
And by "loyal", it should be meant loyal to the nation and what's good for it and the people, not just the corporations and/or wealthy.
