Nuts… Todd Akin Sees Rasmussen Poll As Good News for Campaign
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, August 23, 2012, 1:30 PM
Oh gosh. This is nuts. The Akin Campaign sees today’s Rasmussen poll where he slipped 12 points below liberal Sen. Claire McCaskill as a good sign.
From the Todd Akin website:
St. Louis, MO: The following statement was released by Perry Akin, Campaign Manager for Todd Akin for Senate, in response to the Rasmussen poll released this morning:
“The fact that Claire McCaskill is only polling at 48% after 72 hours of constant negative attacks on Todd Akin shows just how weak she is. If she can’t break fifty percent after a week like this, Democrats should ask Claire to step down. Todd is in this race to win; we will close this gap and win in November with the support of the grassroots in Missouri and across America.”
More… Todd Akin Honey Badger don’t care.
UPDATE: No need to worry… It’s just a flesh wound.

This guy is delusional. GET OUT. This IS NOT the time to stand your ground because of sheer stubbornness. It is NOT about YOU. You need to shut up and go away.

Somebody who wants to have at least some job for the next 2 months. Democrat?
Tea Party Espresso commented:
Has anyone consider the possibility that Akin has been drugged or conditioned in some sort of black-op to damage the GOP?
Ragspierre commented:
Keep the pressure on to get rid of this poor, delusional dummy.
Objective Analysis commented:
Yeah he is a democrat plant. Akin is completely on his, look at me I am relevant now they are talking about me. Let me keep talking.
RNC needs to go nuclear and get his self asp out.
Spider commented:
AOSHQ had a tweet from McCrackskull where she says, “oh no I can’t be ahead by that much, Todd is fine” – or something to that effect.
Claire’s campaign and the NYT propping Akin up

Notice how many trolls are attracted like flies to the garbage headline?!
vamoose commented:
Akin has now cited two polls as a reason for (delusionally) believing that he should stay in the race. Just watch, as soon as even he can’t find any “good” news in a poll he will proclaim polls don’t matter. “it’s only a flesh wound.” Step aside, pal. Give someone else a chance.

It’s done. Jim Hoft has become the new Charles Johnson. Gateway Pundit the new Little Green Footballs.
We’ve defeated ourselves. Thanks morons. Who needs liberal media when we have the GOP and spineless Republicans to do their work for them?
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if all of these same worthless gutless Conservative leaders would be just as forceful about calling for resignations when LIBERALS do something stupid?
Pathetic. Embarrassing. SICKENING! Can we just get to the civil war already? And let’s put the GOP leadership on the other team. I don’t want them on my side.

Perry Akin, which I believe is his son.
Amash commented:
If this guy doesn’t get out, his career of any type is over. He’ll lose Thr repub chance to gain the majority in the senate. How he lives with himself is beyond me. Power sure does corrupt.
chilipalmer commented:
Just for those keeping track, Henry Waxman now has a piece on Daily Kos saying Akin rape gaffe proves GOP is ignorant about science which has caused them to harm Americans by not agreeing to trillions more tax dollars for catastrophic man caused global warming and climate change. (Waxman himself is the science denier as US CO2 has dropped and is going lower while other countries’ continues to rise).
