There is talk of a compromise candidate rising if Akin drops out, one who didn’t run in the primary. One name is state Auditor Tom Schwich, a former aide to John Danforth and a nationally recognized expert on narco-terrorism.

Another name is rising, that of Ann Wagner, who is currently running to succeed Akin in Congress. Here’s an article on the topic:

I hold out hope that perhaps Mike Huckabee can persuade Todd Akin to drop out of the race, provided that Huckabee can be persuaded to make the request.

Follow the money, see who is paying him off.

Akin was not even the clear choice of conservatives. In the primary, John Brunner was endorsed by both Missouri Right to Life and the National Right to Life. Sarah Steelman was endorsed by Sarah Palin. Akin was endorsed by the Democratic Party.

Ouch.

Ann Coulter 22 August 2012

This shows that we have alot of cowards/to give up on our side.

Coulter is not helping conservatism. The media has made this a disaster. They won't give up until they white wash all hot button issues to help Romney.

Steelman was also endorsed by Nat’l Right to Life and MO Right to Life.

Yeah, this is going to help... keep bashing the Pro-life candidate publicly, over and over. Is she getting a kickback from McCaskill campaign?

Really pathetic to watch supposed “conservative” pundits fall into the Democrat propaganda machines diversion and distraction trap.

Go home, Annie.

Aaaah, Ann Coulter, the pro-Romney hag who was vilified mercilessly on FR just some months ago is now a “voice of reason” in all of this?

Spare me. She’s displayed her colors and they aren’t conservative. RINO. Which means she plays for the GOP-e team. The same team that is busy voraciously eating one who it considers a mutant within its ranks.

I wonder, what would have happened if the GOP had circled the wagons around Mr. Akin and basically told the media and Dems to shove off?

Helped a wounded warrior vs. leaving him to die alone? Where is the honor in this?

Show me what is conservative about Mutt Romney or Christie Creme, Ann. And ask him for a donut while you’re at it.

[tumblindice]

Ann, that's crazy, drunk & fasting talk. Put down the scotch and smokes and eat something.

[MNJohnnie]

Well bless your heart, you go right ahead and let the Democrat propaganda machine tell you what to think. The rest of us have better things to do.

[luvie]

So...what are they gonna do? Keep the one that guarantees a Dem will win (since he was handpicked and financed by them), or at least replace Akin with someone who MIGHT have a chance in hell of the Rs winning?

I know Missourians aren’t stupid...but the party sure seems to be!

[Lancey Howard]

Show me another columnist, one who doesn’t take her talking points from chameleon liberals like Mittens.

[Kazan]

Show me another conservative author that doesn’t have an abnormally large Adam’s apple, doesn’t look like a man in drag, hasn’t been a cheerleader for Romney and hasn’t been on the board of GOProud!

Anyone think McCaskill is paying this guy to stay in the race? It sure would be cheaper than running campaign ads against him.
