Palin Chimes in on Akin

Says, "He's inviting himself back into this general election that's coming up, and he's going to get defeated."

Sarah Palin slammed GOP Senate hopeful Todd Akin's decision to continue his bid for the Missouri seat and suggested that she might back a third-party challenger in an interview on Fox News Tuesday night.

"He's inviting himself back into this general election that's coming up, and he's going to get defeated. And that's unfortunate," the former Alaska governor said on "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren." "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, let's go. The status quo has got to go."
