Where are all the anti-Akin posters?..crickets.....
I was sure hoping Akin would drop out; but if this turns out to be for real, I'll send him some money. In 2010, I sent money to O'Donnell, Angle and Whitman, all of whom lost. I'm not throwing good money after bad. If the seat is truly in play, he'll have my support.

I thought he should drop out but what the heck, like most people I was panicked at the thought of not getting that seat. Anyway, if it looks like he can win then he should get the support, after all it’s the voters who count.
The pollster, Wenzel, has been used by Farah/WND to create the impression birtherism has broad support. I'd never heard of them before, and couldn't find any previous polling they had done prior to their birther polls. But recently they've done some primary polling that turned out to be relatively accurate...Cruz/Dewhurst being one.
I would consider this poll a potential outlier until others show similar movement.
Having said that, I've been very outspoken about my desire for Akin to drop out. Nothing would make me happier than Akin becoming the next Senator from Missouri...and being completely wrong about my predictions.
But, as I've said repeatedly, we won't see the full assault of the McCaskill oppo research project until the campaigns reach the point of no return. I'd keep the cork in the champagne bottle for now...it hasn't even begun yet.
The anti-akins people are the ones egging him on to stay in the race.
The pro-Republican folks are the ones who want someone in the race that can win.
This poll fails the sniff test so we’ll just wait for corroboration.
Awaiting numbers from somebody who isn’t a socon SHILL.
