Saw that right after I posted :)
Whether we like it or not Akin’s comment has been nationalized. The first two Senators to call for him to leave? One in a close race in MA and the other the Senior Senator from WI where we also expect to have a close race.
A terrible, terrible mistake.

This one’s on Huckabee, and he’s about to make it worse by trying to save Akin in an interview on his radio show.
Brunner’s probably not even a good enough substitute to beat McCaskill now—and I don’t expect him to step aside for Steelman, who would be the one with a chance still to win.
