Advice that I’m going to heed: because while I am a hammer, at least that I know that I am a hammer (and thus think that everything that I see is a nail). This is why we keep some of the subtle people about, and thank God that we do. Division of labor, and all that.

He’s a good man, but deluded. The sooner he comes to his senses, the better, but only he can do that. Trying to force him will just make him dig in deeper I fear. Gentle persuasion by people he trusts is the only way.
Todd Akin knows that God wants him to stay in the race and intends for him to win. Similarly, radio preacher Harold Camping knew that Jesus Christ would return to Earth on May 21, 2011. But when Harold Camping turned out to be wrong, the only penalty was paid by Camping himself and the relatively few idiots who believed his prophesy. Alas, when Todd Akin discovers that he’s wrong and Claire McCaskill is re-elected, the United States of America will suffer.
