August 20, 2012
— Ace Mark Levin is a tough loss for Akin, obviously.
He's highly influential (Rush respects him) and he'd be the sort of guy you'd usually expect to defend Akin. He scolds the Democrats for hypocrisy, but at 6:35 he calls it a mistake for Akin to stay in the race. He also reminds Akin that "there's just too damn much at stake."
I know this is a rush to judgment here, but as it turns out, the calender compels a rush to judgement: Tomorrow is the last day upon which a candidate may withdraw cleanly, without having to seek a judge's agreement.
I look at it like this: We are playing a single game to determine the future, the fate, of the United States of America.
Either you are good at this game or you are not. We're looking for pitchers that get a lot of strikeouts, not ones that give up a lot of towering, cloud-f***ing homeruns that land somewhere out in the boondocks of parking lot section 19D.
I don't see how else you can look at it. People keep saying "This is the most important election ever" and then behave as if it's all a lark, it's all a laugh.
This is deadly goddamned serious business. This is the country we're talking about.
If you're not good at this game, I don't care if you're a good, decent man down inside, because this isn't about one man, whether he's good or decent or not.
I don't care if a bad pitcher is a good man. I need good pitchers. You win with good pitchers, not bad ones.
And you look it at that way.
This isn't about Akin; this is about everything. It is about whether we will restore a democratic republic or slide further into socialistic tyranny.
No sentimentality here. It's not like Akin ceases to exist on earth if he steps out of the race.
This isn't about Akin. It's about us, and our children, and our children's children, and about whether America will be both the once and future last best hope for freedom and justice on earth.
"Providential:" A source says he's not dropping out because he views this race as "providential."

hey he's on a mission from God....
in other SoCon uber alles news....turns out the Christian Coalition is forming a conservative Pro-Agw lobbying group.
Yeah so I have a compulsion to lose elections thereby further empowering the pro-Abortion faction and now the CC is telling me that to keep them on the reservation I have to embrace Carbon Credits....?
We lose this fellas I get the feeling the GOP is gonna go Whig because I am down with God saying "stop Abortion" I am not down with the Huckaduck posse deciding God is not down with capitalism and NEEDS our help to thwart climate change on his Earth.
Here's hoping if we still have a Republic, and we can still vote for non-democrats in 2016 if that's the case that enough Bambi voters come off their Hopium bing to help form a new party.

But not this time.
Too much is at stake; this is possibly the most important election in our nation's history. We can't afford losing a single senate seat. We can't afford any distractions from the economy.
The GOP must get out the hook and pull dumbass Akin offstage.

Huckadoodle endorsed him along with Claire McCaskill which should tell you a lot....
Huckabuck then tried to throw him a lifeline on Radio and gave the guy the hop that God was all in.
Personally I think God is probably a little more worried about the Mars Landing but that is His business and I don't deign to understand His glory.
Posted by: sven10077 at August 20, 2012 02:59 PM (LRFds)
What really burns my biscuits about this is that he would have done much less damage had he simply owned up to his position on abortion in cases of rape. How hard would it have been to say something like "Rape is terrible, but I don't think adding another innocent victim makes it better."? Most people don't agree, but I don't think he'd get the backlash that his moronic attempt at spin has produced. "There's no moral dilemma here because women naturally reject rape-sperm" is stupid from every angle, pro-choice, pro-life, whatever.

From Ace:
"...Tomorrow is the last day upon which a candidate may withdraw cleanly, without having to seek a judge's agreement."
--------
So if Akin withdrew...before this deadline tomorrow....the other primary candidate would automatically take his place?
Is that how it works in Missouri?

Unfortunately Akin is an inarticulate idiot. He may have the best of intentions, but if he does not have his abortion stance burned into his speech center, he is a stupid, second rate politician.

He had a chance to make this clean and on his terms, instead, he's now going to be forced out. When I first heard that he was stepping down today (bullshit again from Erick Erickson) I actually respected Akin, but no longer. Akin's not going to step down, he's going to be yanked off the stage through brute force.
This is war, and we can't afford "but that's not fair!" bullshit. Akin will lose the Senate seat and possibly keep this country from repealing ObamaCare.
Those are the stakes, and if you don't like hardball, don't get involved in politics.

If Job Biden can stand infront of a room 50% black and say what he said, and it's not a big deal, then this guy should get to stay in.
Seriously, if the VICE PRESIDENT (and also VP candidate) can get away with that level of gaffe, why are we expecting some dude in MO to drop out of an election?
I'm serious, I want to have this conversation on a national level. If it is somehow mandatory for him to drop out, then Joe Biden should have to drop out.

He is going to stay in, we are going to lose Missouri and 2-5% more of the female vote nationally costing us atleast 3 key swing states and as a result not only not gaining control of the senate but losing the white house race.
Obama will be reelected and the country will be LEGITIMATELY RAPED!

Here you republicans go, hoisting your very last choice for president on this great nation, trying everything you can to save this born-on-third-base economic parasite that made a living sucking away wealth through Sopranos-like tactics.
Your primaries were a clown show. The only thing missing was the multi-colored VW beetle and the circus music. Perry - goofy clown, not ready for prime but obviously fine for the great state of Texas. -What are you going to do? An Ann Richards only comes around once in a lifetime.
Bachman - Insane clown. Certifiable. Herman Cain - you were all very excited about him. You all thought he was the man until he sat their squirming, trying to pretend he knew the answer to s simple foreign relations question. You thought he was the best.
Santorum - Teeth gritting, angry clown. You hoisted him up - never mind his American Christian taliban agenda. No-Go. Newt - The most insane, repugnant clown of all.
And now here we are with your very last choice. The one candidate You never supported, your last choice. Your bottom of the barrel.
And now here you are telling us to elect him.
The republican party is a stuttering clusterfuck of a disaster for America.
The bottom of the barrel, The worst we have to offer America and the world.
You're a total disaster in the making and I think you're beginning to know it. Posted by: Jimmy-Joe at August 20

I'm also on Akin's side of the issue - call me an extremist but I don't think you compound a horrible crime (rape) by murdering the innocent child.
But here's the thing - this was a monumentally stupid thing to say for a guy who basically had only to coast into a Senate seat and it leads me to wonder how many own-goals you get in this election if you have an (R) after your name. File it under #lifeisnotfair if you must but until we have a straight-shooting media in this country and a populace that is substantially less horrified by the notion (much less the practice) of late-term abortion I'm afraid the answer is ZERO.
Time to go. Quietly, please.

There's a deep and fundamental fallacy being demonstrated here.
To wit, the idea that there's gaffe parity between the parties. There is not.
We have a media apparatus in this country which is pleased to describe itself as "objective" and "unbiased" and "nonpartisan", which nevertheless consists of 95+% liberal Democrats, and which has coverage which for some unimaginable reason tends to strongly favor liberal Democratic candidates and powerfully disfavor Republican candidates.
Gaffes by Biden, nor gaffes by any other prominent Democrat, don't get coverage and hence don't get traction with the electorate. Whereas gaffes by Republican candidates get heavy coverage and constant rotation.
Is that unfair? It certainly is. It's also hard cold reality.
If you realize that you're playing on a slanted playing field, the least you can do is adjust your game to match. The way that you adjust your game in this case is to can candidates the instant they crank out a serious gaffe.
In this case, the guy stuck his foot in his mouth to where his knee was tickling his nose, and did it shortly before the deadline by which he can be cleanly replaced by another person -- and yet there has been an intraparty debate about whether or not to get rid of him before that deadline expires! Reflecting a fundamental unseriousness about what it takes to win elections. GET RID OF HIM.

Steeleman and Brunner were so busy beating the living hell out of each other they probably didn't have time. IIRC the polls at the time looked like Aiken would be a distant third so they probably didn't worry about him all that much.
The better question is whether Motherfuckabee vets his endorsements at all. Look at that sleazy, slimy, disgusting pig he endorsed in the primary for SC Governor and look at this cretin in MO. Same shit, different pile, although I think Aiken is a deeply misguided but well-meaning retard while the guy in SC is just a fucking corrupt scumbag.
If I never hear from Motherfuckabee or Bachmann (the two chief architects of this fucking non-euclidean nightmare) again it will be to soon.

If Joe Biden can stand infront of a room 50% black and say what he said, and it's not a big deal, then this guy should get to stay in.
Seriously, if the VICE PRESIDENT (and also VP candidate) can get away with that level of gaffe, why are we expecting some dude in MO to drop out of an election?
I'm serious, I want to have this conversation on a national level. If it is somehow mandatory for him to drop out, then Joe Biden should have to drop out.
Joe Biden not only said that, but he basically went FULL ON MINSTREL-SHOW BLACKFACE. THE VP of the US of A.

Questions that include the words "rape" and "abortion".
I am big-time pro-life, but opening an exit for one of the most vulnerable members of the Senate to jump through on this issue is as asinine as it gets. Quit trying to spin, Congressman, and quit using words like "providential"--I mean what the hell--and get out now.
And for those of you trying to spin this...that's exactly what the squirrel wranglers on the other side are counting on.

the libs are fired up over this one. Perfect thing for anidiot to say to distract the voters from the real issues we ned to deal with this election.
This clown just gave our opposition ammuntion. I see already that the GOP has a 'war on women'. Because we don't want to pay for birth control, we can be portrayed by the crooked media as trying to take away a woman's right to birth control.
Many voters are stupid. We cannot have idiots like this dragging us down. It may already be too late if the media gets their way.
I don't care what your position is on abortion. I dont care how good a guy Akin is. He stepped in it big time with these remarks. Our side doesn't get the benefit of the doubt, and we need to make him fall on his sword to salvage any chance at killing this narrative.

I don't really have any insight into that. I try to stay out of Christian circles where they are "cause-centered". I've been in Christian communities literally since before I was born, and I tend to hang with believers who center their faith on what they are for, rather than what they are against.
When Christ came to the end of His earthly ministry, He gathered His disciples around and told them to listen up. I'm gonna die here. He had a message. One commandment. Love one another as I have loved you.
He didn't give them a protest list.
I try to view people as fellow sinners for whom Christ died, and avoid the finger pointing and bomb-throwing. I find that not many come to a relationship with Christ because someone screamed in their face that they were wrong wrong wrong.

He strikes me as being rather "provincial" too, and not in a good salt-of-the-earth way.
Normally when people talk about praying over a decision they aren't expecting an answer directly from God but to be granted the wisdom to make the correct decision on their own. In Aiken's case I'm not sure that applies. I think somebody needs to slip him a mickey and implant speakers in his fillings like in that movie Real Genius. "This is Jesus, Todd. You must GTFO the race right this minute".

Over at Red State was a comment about Akin's margin of victory over Brunner, and it amounted to 11 votes per precinct. Missouri has open primary voting, meaning that you don't ever "register" with a political party, but in every primary election you merely declare which ballot you want, Democrat, or Republican, or Green Party, or whatever. Illinois is also like that.
There is some evidence that McCaskill (or more likely Axelrod) gave money to Akin, AND sent Democrats in with Republican ballots to vote for Akin. It's no secret that McCaskill wanted Akin as her opponent, and Akin was polling 3rd in a 3 person race.
Then a miracle occured, and Akin won. Then another miracle occured, and a nobody like C.D.Jacko interviews Akin on a backwoods cable channel, and asks Akin some pretty pointed questions about rape and abortion. And this Akin imbecile thinks that all these "miracles" are providential, arggghhhh.
This whole thing was scripted by Axelrod if you ask me. Akin needs to get out now, or the Republicans need to do what Lisa Murkowski did up in Alaska, and run a separate campaign and completely cut Akin out of the party.

Thanks for your reply. I fear the secular left has infiltrated too many of our Churches. I am lapsed Catholic but I do go to my wife's Baptist services for fellowship without broadcasting my status. I suspect the American left is working hard to infiltrate Protestant Churches for secular political gain in the same way Marxists infiltrated the Catholic Church in the '20s-50s.
Still something of a problem, but we were lucky enough to have John Paul II clean house to a degree.

Ask yourself:
Is it reasonable to presume Akin's abortion/rape comment is a deal-breaker for Missouri voters?
Is there some reliable data set out there that shows that whatever our national problems Missouri just can't abide this Akin fellow's take on rape and abortion and must therefore submit to another 4 or 6 years of economic suffering?
Or is more reasonable to assume that Akin can walk those comments back (if necessary) and hang the Obamacare vote and the economy around McCaskill's neck like the millstone it is?
Which matters more to the low-info voter in Missouri right now a long string of hypotheticals regarding a mythical restriction on abortion that no one in their right mind believes is imminent or the unemployment rate?

As someone who thinks abortion should be illegal in all circumstances..... I still think this idiot has to go. Even if it had no implications, we don't want guys like this representing the party.
Perhaps those old GOP staffers all butthurt about the Paul Ryan pick should've been paying attention to undisciplined senate candidates instead of Ryan.

And then contort in a way that makes it 1. Non-Factual 2. Accusational of any woman who becomes pregnant as a result of rape. He was living in an alternate reality where no woman who is "really raped" ever gets pregnant. That is simply not true. And you cannot simply discount as nonexistent those that do.
I'm an effin political rube, and I know you never claim people don't exist when they do.

308 And just so we're clear, let me repeat that first part in a slightly different manner:
The US has become the sort of country where the electorate would rather vote for a Socialist and its own demise than someone who is on the right side of things but made a (oh noes) "social faux pas."
-------------------------------------------------------
Making a mockery of RAPE is not just a faux pas you idiot.
Half the population of the country is female.
Women vote in greater numbers than men.
Women are all over the map on abortion, but every single woman is against RAPE, and is horrified/frightened that it could happen to her, or her friends, or her mother, or her daughters.
Akin the imbecile has mocked rape and women who are victims of rape (legitimate rape?????????).
Akin must go now, or the RNC must kick him out of the party and name a third party candidate they will then support with some of Mitt's $180M stash.

In the meanwhile, speaking of boneheads, I saw a person on Twitter today, a self-described "conservative" who said they were donating money to McCaskill's campaign because of the fact that he said, "women should be able to stop being raped."
There's a big difference between objecting to something someone said and asking them to step down and completely twisting their words and using that to actively donate against your own party. I'm sickened by this entire day and the ugliness it has brought out in a lot of people on all sides.

Anybody remember Clayton Williams? He was the Republican candidate for Governor of Texas back in 1989. He was twenty points ahead in the polls at one time and then made a joke to someone about rape. "It's like the rain, sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy it".
And that's how you got Governor "He was born with a silver foot in his mouth"

Posted by: AmishDude at August 20, 2012 04:02 PM (T0NGe)
I agree my one reservation is the party already has a lot of nervous anxiety because of the ill ease some have with Romney. I wound up going full circle. in 2008 of the final 3 I wanted Mitt and felt Huckabee stuck just to screw Mitt, then this last cycle I did not want Mitt and once he picked Ryan and his gambit clicked I became a believer in his chances. I suspect what is bothering people is that several of our sub groups are already bargaining and if Akin had ANY sense of loyalty to the group as a whole he'd have to do the right thing, but instead he plays the "thank God He said stay" card again living up to the worst stereotypes of our party and we cannot unload on him so the people who can't resist swing wildly.
It is not fair, and the only way we can stop the media and dems in their tracks requires Balls I think a lot of the politicians in our party lack.
You have to ask every democrat in answer to Akin questions why a member of their party used Craig's list to woo a 17 year old boy to the rest stop, why Bawney Fwank ran a bordello for young hustlers in his apartment etc etc.
They corner our candidate on abortion, ask why Barack Obama favors letting babies who are born from failed abortions die in linen closets without police reports....
but we WILL not fight back so dummies like Akin have NO place in leading our party.

You know what that is. Irrelevant. Why? You may ask. Because if conception is merely less likely, then those women who have been raped and do become pregnant at least deserve recognition that they exist, and that they have a valid concern, even if your ultimate stance is that they should not be allowed to get abortions, you cannot justify it by saying those women simply don't exist, therefore you don't have to think about their problems. That was what was so wrong about what Akin said. He wanted to use a bit of spotty science to imagine away the women who had been violently violated, and as a result conceived, so he didn't have to grapple with the question of what their very real feelings would be when faced with an inability to legally abort their child. That is just flat wrong.
Posted by: MikeTheMoose Regular With Full Stomping Power! at August 20, 2012 04:09 PM (0q2P7)
Akin's remarks just plain don't matter all that much except if they can somehow be nationalized. Mike Huckabee is not my cup of tea but I'm guessing that he can probably pick a winner in Missouri better than I can. To get this thing done (repealing Obamacare, reforming entitlements, reducing the debt/deficit) we are going to have to over look each others short-comings.
That means that social-cons are going to have to put with RINOs like Scott Brown, or Linc Chaffee, or the Maine Ladies once-in-awhile. That also means the northern RINOs are going to have to put up with some good, old-fashioned, revival tent snake-handlers from the more rural districts occasionally. It also means that the green-eye shade fiscal-cons are going to have to tolerate them too. And the libertarians. So just get over it.
And for god's sake stop being so damn afraid that every little thing is going to throw the whole enterprise asunder. Akin may be an unthinking, snake-handling, trog but frankly I'd rather have an unthinking, snake-handling trog who will vote to repeal Obamacare than a noble loser in the John McCain mold stepping in to penitentially lose the race to McCaskill.
In other words, let's save the country first and then -- once the exchequer has been put back in order -- maybe we'll get around to how many angels may dance on the head of a pin under the penumbras and emanations of the constitution.
If you live in Missouri your duty is to hold your nose -- or in any other fashion that suits you -- head off to the polls in November and pull the lever for Romney and this Akin fellow (assuming he is still the Republican on the ballot).

382 - you are the f*****g genius, he did mock rape. He had some convoluted explanation of how rape and conception worked, and "legitimate" rape versus rape-rape or somesuch nonsense was invoked.
Rape and its aftermath is something that elderly ignorant male fools like Akin should just STFU about now and forever.
He needs to go now before he does any further damage, his opinions on rape and women qualify him for honorary Taliban membership.

He is actually preventing what you seek to accomplish. If Obama and the Democrats are re-elected, there will be a concerted effort to MULTIPLY access to abortions.

That is absolutely why you trend pro-life if you're smart as a secular matter and I as a fiscon support wic. I also support orphanages, and the like. Kids are literally a culture's most precious resource.
My wife and I have lost several pregnancies, I'd happily have had 3 more.
Our abortion problem as a nation is a blight, and despite being called a secret fan of child murder in the last 48 hours, I fear as a Christian that God's providential eye and his protection may be leaving us over the deaths. As a history ed major once upon a time I can tell you Rome, Sparta, and Thebes all had huge issues at maintaining cohesive political power because of falling birth rates and military participation by their upper classes.

The GOP in MO needs to get Steelman or Brunner to run as an Independent and then fund them. Akin will have no money and he is not going to get any. The fact is, make him irrelevant. He will not do the right thing. He is another in a LONG LINE of morons who think God has chosen him for some providential issue. They all end up the same...on the side, losers, rejected, idiotic and broken. Akin is no different. Hey Todd ask God to fund you going forward!! Guess what you can stay in but you will have not one penny to run with. Support an Independent that will take out Akin and Claire. You can undercut him in more ways than one. If he stays let him dry in the wind!! Lets see how much money he can raise now!! His campaign sent out a Fundraising request today this afternoon....I would say they are testing the water for money.
In the end, the real talker is MONEY...if he cannot raise money he is FINISHED!! And I would imagine today he received very little if any support for money. You want him out KEEP THE MONEY!! He cannot run on fumes and no one will remember him. That is how you force him out. TELL YOU GET NOT ONE RED DIME!! Lets see his family raise the millions needed!! NOT!!

We were blessed by having many men of several denominations and some Deists engage in horse trading and constitute a system founded on a Conservative basis blended with libertarian leanings. I consider the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights to be the most beautiful words crafted by man. We now have a leader who is feigned the quality of scholar of that document library to contain horrible flaws rather than timeless guidance.
I fear the loss of our Republic.

But a source with ties to Akin’s political operation tells First Read that the GOP congressman most likely won’t quit the contest, saying Akin believes this race is “providential” and even if Akin was ready to get out, his wife would never let him quit. The person with knowledge of Akin’s political operation adds: “She makes him seem like the reasonable one.”

Posted by: buzzion at August 20, 2012 04:38 PM (GULKT)
Likely GOP pickups: Nebraska, Hawaii (RINO), Montana, North Dakota, Wisconsin (RINO),
Ties (too close right now): Florida, Scott Brown, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia
GOP losses: Maine,
DEM Holds: California, Likely Missouri (thanks Akin), Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington,
We still have a great chance to take the Senate but this HURTS. Send money to Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota, and Wisconsin and to those tied states. We are only at serious risk of losing 1 seat. So if that moves us down to 46 then we need 4 seats + vice president or 5 seat w/o VP. Doable.
Posted by: naes at August 20, 2012 04:39 PM (4WQJ/)
However, you can't save babies legislatively if you're not in the Senate. The only way to get into the Senate is to keep hammering on the economy, nothing else (except for McCaskill's massive corruption problem). Then let your social con flag fly AFTER you win.
As it is, if we end up re-electing McCaskill, we've doomed innocent life to death, thus undermining whatever good Akin in his confused and ignorant way thought he was doing.
Again, for the sake of the country, he has to go.
I'm opposed entirely to abortion except to save the very life of the mother. Now's not the time to bring it up. We have to save the country first, and we can't do that if we're nobly pious, but out of power.

you know what your argument is? strawman.
it's important to understand the effing size of the problem. why is that impossible to understand? it doesn't happen that often, rape (see duke lacrosse) or pregnancy from rape or full-term pregnancy from rape. to distort the statistics is to distort the size of the problem and thus the prescribed solutions. if this doesn't happen often, society can bear the burden of raising these children even if they are the result of something as horrible as rape, and thus abortion even in the most extreme circumstances can be taken off the table. we're still the richest country, and we can't solve the problem? even if we were to require women to carry the baby to term, which we don't in any place in the country?
Posted by: matt foley at August 20, 2012 04:47 PM (bY+Nu)
It's not about what the media wants to talk about. Of course, they'd rather talk about this. They'd love to nationalize the freaking Missouri senate race. That's how desperate they are.
My point is this: we don't have to play along in this day and age. Low info voters don't care about this stuff. Most people don't care about this stuff. For that matter, I really don't care what some senate candidate in Missouri who I'd never heard of before yesterday said about anything.
When people go to the polls in November the economy is still going to be in the toilet and that is what will make up people's minds.
The only really persuasive reason I've heard to dump Akin is that he may serve as some sort of rallying cry for the Dem base. I suppose there is some marginal risk that some ill-considered remark by a mid-western senatorial candidate can somehow be milked for nearly three months in an effort to boost the Democrats national GOTV effort but those seem like long odds to me. Doesn't that sound like a long shot at best?
If I have to choose now which hand I'm going to play in November I figure sticking with the Akin fellow and hammering the other side for their pathetic economic record since 2008 is the smarter play.

Btw, he would never have won those primaries had the reps that voted for him known that he was this stupid. I ripped his sign out of my lawn and am willing to support ANYONE against McCaskill. It's completely untenable to think that I won't have a chance to vote for someone not subhuman for senate, and have to put up with six more miserable years with her. It's one thing to lose honorably during the election in November, it's another to say 'hey Claire, we were winning but thought that we'd just give you this seat because we're absolute morons who just sat there and did nothing'.

Unfortunately Ace I have to disagree with you.
This is in fact about Akin.
It's about just exactly who he is.
Is he the kind of man to recognize that even if misspoke and said something terribly off the wall that he now regrets as obvious hogwash will also see that so much is at stake that he must step aside?
That's the only real question.
Because if he believes what he originally said, not only is he so far out to lunch that he's picnicking on Mars, but he's also an inveterate liar because he has repudiated what he originally said. That would be a rotten and deranged person. (Sort of like Bill Clinton sans the hyper-intelligence.) That would simply be who he was.
On the other hand, let's assume he got himself confused in the middle of a conversational interview and said something where he almost immediately he was doing a Homer Simpson "Doh!" in his mind. In that case, at least he's not an out to lunch weirdo. However, for him to march forward into the election with that kind of hopeless baggage would make him an egomaniac hellbent on obtaining power. And that too, is what he would turn out to simply be.
So this issue really is about Todd Akin. - Just exactly who he is. There are three possibilities: 1) A walking-talking Deranged and Rotten Personality Disorder; 2) A Power Hungry Egomaniac; or 3) A man who after tripping over his own tongue will ultimately realize (by 5:00pm August 21st) that he has to step aside for the good of the country.
So the best odds we can possibly hope for are one in three. Not good, but not hopeless until the Five speak tomorrow.
PS: Sorry I haven't been commenting more, but I have returned to full time employment. Working north of 65 hours per week. Will be that way for at least another month.
For the record, I still think that Romney will win by at least four points on election day.
