“Since I live in Missouri I feel free to correct you. Missouri is a ‘swing’ state. McCain/Palin won by a hair.”
“The majority of the population of the state reside in the KCmetro and St. Louismetro areas. They are ruled by liberals. IF Akin stays on the ballot the choice will be him or Claire.... Third party candidates usually do not have much of an impact.........What Akin needs to ‘win’ are the ever wavering sensitive so called independents.”
I am also a Missouri resident and voter. However, I disagree with your assesment of the importance of “Independent” voters...as you describe them.
This issue is still in turmoil but will settle down. When it does, Republicans and Independents (which really dislike McRascal) will go for Akin. Theo is right. Mike Huckabee is REALLY right.
God Bless Mike Huckabee.

Amen!
LordMcCain with Sarah's help won Missouri by a hair in 2008. Do you remember how it was that Claire beat Talent back in 2006?
I totally agree up till Akin shot off his mouth the majority of independents were leaning to the ‘right’. I do not believe that is the case right this minute. Romney's whole primary campaign was to, for and about getting the independents. BUT to try and pacify the base he got Ryan to be his running mate. And along comes Akin and basically created the worst ‘bad’ press all by himself than all the Republicans together have generated out side of Obama cheap shots.
Oh, let me be clear here, I have yet to decide IF I will vote for Romney come November. IF Akin is the only option I will vote for him.
