So I guess the outcome really is good news! :)

Though the other possible outcomes wouldn't have been awful.

Are the other two candidates likely to actively support Akin in the general?

“Appearing before family, friends and campaign staff, Steelman announced that she had conceeded the election to Akin at about 10 p.m. Tuesday night.

“Todd Akin is a fine man, and a good conservative,” Steelman said. “I know he’ll fight hard for the people of this state, and I put faith in him.”

Although disappointed with the result, Steelman pledged to do everything she can to help Akin defeat Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill in November’s election.


Brunner spent 8 million dollars? Holy....

Akin’s victory particularly took Brunner by surprise. Brunner had spent at least $8 million of his own money and had led in all the pre-election polls. Tuesday night, Brunner opted against a public concession speech, instead offering his congratulations in a private phone call to Akin.

They are all good candidates imo. I am very happy with the outcome and would think that Brunner and Steelman would rally around a man that fights for conservative issues and makes no apologies for doing so..it would be in their best interest to ensure that McCaskill is defeated.

They were all good candidates. I believe they share Akins views and will rally behind him in order to beat McCaskill. I am very happy with Akin being the choice.
