PM deadline has now passed the drumbeat goes loud it's getting in the latter but it sure isn't getting to congressman -- -- in Missouri.
He blocked the 5 PM center deadline to drop out of the senate race.
Governor running congressman Ryan jumping into the fray urging him to quit congressman Aiken is trying to unseat democratic senator Claire McCaskill.
Now it all started -- an -- when the conversation turned to apportion concert Aiken said.
If it's say legitimate rape the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
Went out then all hell broke loose and the highest ranking party members have been urging him to quit the race.
So another has been -- -- missed a deadline and won't -- should the GOP kiss its chance of winning the Missouri senate seat goodbye.
-- it's never Sarah Palin -- -- Republican primary opponent Sarah Sarah Steelman.
Governor Palin joins -- good evening governor I think it's only fair to take a few seconds -- the gloat a little -- -- shows it can and the Republican Party didn't -- didn't vote in in Missouri.
And now all the leaders that -- Republican leaders are trying to get -- to go -- if I love your choice.
Well I won't gloat about it but -- I was right -- -- -- -- supporters and campaign staff.
And if we were all right -- in knowing that Sarah Stillman is the right person for the job to.
Represent Missouri and to that allow it common sense conservatives to take back the senate so that we can halt what it is the Barack Obama has done to this country -- Stillman was the right person.
I supported her then and I'm gonna continue to support her.
Web looks like Senator Clinton cast are we -- a fruit basket tonight to that congressman -- because say he certainly has some in.
Act he has Sarah Lane -- the -- jeopardize the chances for and Republicans to take that seat.
And the senator McCaskill really was on the ropes but now -- boy things have change have turned around haven't that.
Well that the six point critic Clement -- -- and the and the Democrats thought that they were so clever.
And -- -- fighting so hard to get weekend on the ballot as the winner in the GOP primary.
And you know many of us who recognized -- that cleverness that crafting this from the left because we're trying to get used to the games that they play wanted to do something about it.
-- cirrus Stillman and her -- -- her campaign been the status quo has got to go was absolutely right on insane.
You know we need somebody who has.
A strong record of reform of fighting crony capitalism.
-- fighting the good old boy network a fighting immigrants in the senate and Sarah Steelman was going to be that person now we do have opportunity even though Todd Aiken has said that.
He's not gonna drop out of bless his heart I don't want to pile on -- -- because.
And it in some respects I understand what he's trying to say here in.
I'm standing on principle that he doesn't want to be perceived as a quitter but you gotta know when to hold them know when to fold up and believe me I've walked before I know when you have to hold.
That mantle and then hand it to someone else in order to progress a positive agenda that's what I had to do when the last got.
In order to take back the senate and promote the ideas and policies of respecting and protecting the sanctity of human life.
And respecting the idea.
And policies that would have prepared to -- -- it -- a strong economy based on empowering and hardworking individuals instead of growing dysfunctional.
Indebted government.
We got to take back the senate and Missouri is a must win state.
The way we do that is to have someone like Sarah Steelman be able to run even if it does a third party candidate.
To be able to run and help us take this back.
Why you -- urging her to run as a third party has he look at this guy I mean saying I've frankly act I have yet to free outlook quote legitimate rapists.
And he's also quoted as -- from what I understand from doctors getting pregnant from militant legitimate rape is rare -- guys and -- luck this is flat out weird.
This is no way to.
I don't -- -- just let -- you know the club.
Close close that chapter -- of what he said in what he meant and how we will try to explain what he -- closed that and now just deal with the pragmatism.
In front of us these decisions that had have to be made on.
When the deck is stacked against you.
When your funding has been pulled went all -- -- not just in the establishment but those hardcore supporters have pulled their support from.
You as the GOP primary -- and -- and -- -- support his god that would be needed in order to.
Beat Claire McCaskill would take helped take back if you get -- when it's gone.
That's when you have to use discernment and know when to fold them.
-- -- is absolute -- using Justine heat get out -- -- in the Republican Party still back him.
No I'm suggesting that.
He get out he should have.
-- -- that deadline today I believe personally and gotten out of the race but because he did not do I regret that then we have to figure out okay well.
What is next ended without trying to pylon and tied it didn't and and what he's going through right now.
Maybe it is a third party run -- Sarah still -- that I get behind.
And granted the status quo it's got to go would be an odd name for a third party but will -- it will adopt it will run with -- if that's what it takes in order to get.
A common sense constitutional happens to be pro life woman.
Missouri to clean up this mess that now has been created and at the same time to -- the senate.
Which can easily get to take the country and put government on the side of the ball.
Here is -- act I don't I don't think there.
Piling on him because after eight it's not like it's a gap like -- he said the -- word or something.
And he says it from what he understands some doctors are busy night and that -- I mean make it up because no doctors coming out insane -- so this a little bit more than -- -- And what he has done for the Republican Party is not only is he going to risk the chance a Republican Party gain the senate by one by -- in Missouri.
But he's also done one of the worst and she can do and politics is by handing your opponent ammunition and as noted that Democrats and I'm talking about a war on women.
Well now he has he is at -- them so much ammunition on this by his bizarre statements.
That's what I mean by a -- cards stacked against it good bad -- ugly that's what he is facing is.
This is not going in his favor so you have to step aside from -- from.
Your yourself desire to get in there and serve and and do what you believe is right and you have to be in a sense -- one for the -- and and you have to step aside.
-- am I can't else.
But he can be yeah I didn't -- -- September 25 to do it.
But -- he doesn't know then it's going to be third party then well do what ever we -- on to not.
Watch this opportunity that we have to take Missouri for the good of the country and for good the good of every citizen of Missouri.
Did take it back put government back on the -- people the only way we do that.
It's to have.
-- concern could win in Missouri to get -- McCaskill who was highly unpopular what -- she.
She's still behind -- Eighteen today barely but even despite all this chaos that's going out that that's indication of how unpopular she -- It's doable it's winnable Missouri is and that leads to winning the senate that leads to reimbursing a lot of the things that Obama and Biden have done to put our children and grandchildren of the -- of dependency to shackle our kids and grandkids in the debt.
That they have continued to perpetuate -- Have you made -- -- to -- still Leonard UN ten dirty or any advice for her tonight.
No because here's the deal I also know.
My mission that I am on is to help but not to hurt and that -- -- needs to learn a little lesson from me you know to step back and and wait to be invited to participated not like yourself to the part what he's doing right now gray hat was his heart he's inviting himself back to him.
To admit this general election that's -- at ease and get defeated and that's unfortunate.
And that is why we have to think pragmatically about this and we have to think well what's another option is a third party another option if it is.
What's the status -- woods got to go let's do what we -- to get there.
Governor thank you -- that stock did thank you governor thing.
