It really looks like the best thing would be to mount a write-in campaign with some articulate conservative candidate, and have both Romney and Palin campaign for him or her so that Romney is seen as really rejecting Akin. (We can debate whether it’s fair or right or giving in to the left-wing media another time. The country is at stake. Akin’s brand is damaged beyond repair, and besides pulling party funding something more public is needed so that the ‘Rats can’t uses him to drag the national ticked down — Romney falling in behind a Palin-backed write-in campaign in Missouri would be just the thing. Even better add funding for the write-in from the national GOP.)
Better read the internals of the latest Rasmussen poll. MO voters aren’t pissed at Akin, they are pissed at Romney for asking Akin to leave.
It would be best if the Conservative/GOP movement quit obsessing about Akin, you are cutting your own throats.
Obamas Democratic support in the state remains largely unchanged at 96%, and voters not affiliated with either major party still favor Romney by 20 points. But Republican support in Missouri for the partys likely nominee has fallen from 94% in late July to 85% now, Rasmussen continues.
