And yet he said he didn't...I take him at his word as I would you if you said so in the same circumstances....but that is me...
Partisan....if you say so....

The Republicans need to do a democrat special like what they did in New Jersey in 2002 and dump the candidate and put someone else in there.
She polled 11 points back of a guy who's been campaigning for the past two to three months in a primary, so of course he's going to have a little higher bump, especially since Akin's base was all riled up from what was a come from behind victory in the primary. Like I said, I have no doubt that over 50% of Missourians would say they are not voting for McCaskill, but when that question is asked with a specific opponent in mind, the numbers start to get closer, and McCaskill has just now started to ramp up campaigning (since she ran unapposed in the primary). I'll stand by the belief that Akin's gaffe pretty much gift-wrapped the election to McCaskill, because if he stays in the race, he'll never be able to live that phrase down, and the other top candidates weren't going to excite people on a wide scale in the state.

Rove pulling his Super Pac out of Missouri. sen Johnson and brown call for him to drop out, Sen Cornyn basically said for him to drop. I bet by the end of the day he will be gone.....

It's good to see Republicans calling out and putting pressure on one of their own for saying something stupid. I'm wondering why elected Democrats don't do the same thing when someone like Biden says something stupid.

It sure shouldn't "add another chapter" based on the 100% condemnation from all Republican quarters, including funding being pulled and Congressional leaders publicly calling for him to drop out.

I think he was saying there are a certain amount of undereducated people who might think like this.
I you want to jump to conclusions and claim them as supporters of the republican party, you are free to do so.

I agree, this guy needs to go and now, if he says stuff this stupid this early, I can only imagine what else he will say. Already heard rumblings on twitter he is dropping out, good riddance, our party should not stand for this nonsense.

But it does keep the perception alive in the mind of women voters.

Perhaps because what Biden said wasn't THAT stupid, more ill-advised if anything.

No, what he said was stupid. "Ill-advised" doesn't come close when it's about telling black people somebody's coming to put them back in chains.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

 Thanks for that laugh, Warhorse. I'm hoping lots of Dems agree, will play into conservatives hands well!

Hopefully, because I believe tomorrow is the last day he can back out.

I would generally agree as I like to cut people slack when they misspeak however when you adopt a southern drawl and inject ya'all into it, it is more than ill advised it is just disgusting.

Oh, absolutely--and the strong reaction is certainly due in no small part to a variety of bad PR moments in regards to women voters over the past year or so. They don't want that phrase drummed up again. And I do applaud the Republican Party for forcing this guy out, don't get me wrong.

Erick Erickson of Red State twittered he is bowing out, we shall see. This needs to be diffused and pronto.

Of course...  So you don't believe that the strong reaction is due primarily to the fact that virtually all Republicans feel strongly that the statement was stupid and wholly inappropriate?

In 2002 New Jersey had sen Toricelli indicted after the primary and the party sued to get Lautenberg on the ballot and he is sitting in the senate today (much to my chagrin as i believe he is something like 135 years old) The party needs to do that and get someone calming in there Jim Talent or Kit Bond
