Interview: Akin’s Strategist Elsass Speaks

WSJ, by way of Taegan D. Goddard 's Political Wire   "Mr. Elsass said an ad by Mr. Akin asking forgiveness will run through the weekend. Mr. Akin will return to Missouri on Friday—he is now in Tampa—and begin holding a regular campaign events and talking to the local press. That will begin the real test of whether Mr. Akin’s campaign remains viable, and as the Republican and Democratic conventions unfold over the next two weeks, Mr. Akin will assess where he stands."
