Is there still time to get someone else on the ballot?
He’d have to withdraw. Write in candidate was suggested but just helps the Dems.
Yes and the pressure for him to quit behind the scenes is going to be enormous. He’ll be gone like Anthony Wiener was.
From my reading of the Missouri law, I think he has to hang in there about three more weeks. Otherwise, he can only be replaced if he dies or is ruled ineligible for the office. I could be wrong as it is rather convoluted.

Ann Coulter and Palin have encouraged a write-in on the ballot.
Aug 21 was the deadline for 3rd parties.
Sore loser law prevents anyone who lost in primary mounting a write-in. That would, of course, include Steelman.
If Akin withdraws and gets court order by Sept 25, the Rep. Central Committee could choose GOP replacement. That could be anyone, including those who lost in the primary.
Frank Lautenberg says 'Hi!'!
Akin can be replaced, but it would probably have to be by someone with instant name recognition to Missourians...dare I say pull Ashcroft or god forbid Bond out of retirement.
