what are the rules if he steps down? Does the state party just pick someone or does it go to the 2nd place from the primary?

Aiken went on Huckabee's radio show and said "I'm not a quitter and my belief is we're going to take this thing forward"

If he doesnt want to leave, I dont see how the party can force him. Will the RNCC back him up and spend money? You can be sure that the DNCC are going to go all in on Claire now that she has a chance

The question is, can this guy be swayed by the establishment GOP. The hard right are with him, including FRC. Does he care if the party drops him?

I'm curious, is he also running for his congressional seat as well? Does he have anything to fall back on if he loses? If so, what are Boehner and Cantor saying? Will they threaten him with loss of committee positions if he doesnt drop out?

Just made it worse: "I read in 'medical reports' that women can have a 'reaction' to rape that stops pregnancy."

He is doubling down?  Seriously?

And this guy is on the science committee?
