Remember Todd "I say stupid things about rape" Akin, the man who
obliterated his campaign by revealing his sickening beliefs about
women's bodies? So is Akin butting out of the race, as most Republicans
want him to? Of course not. He's doubling-down because that's what they do.
Instead, Akin plans to ramp up his campaign. He's holding a fundraiser Monday with former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. He's addressing a potentially influential group of pastors Tuesday morning. Then as the drop-out clock ticks down, he's kicking off a statewide bus tour for his Senate bid that will include venerable conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly.I roared laughing when I read that. Had to share it.
