Akin is toast and if he's out of money, and I can only hope he is, we are FORTUNATE because he might actually do the right thing and step aside for an articulate, commonsense, pro-life conservative who can win.
Missouri is clean out of those this election cycle.
It's Akin or McCasket -- take your pick.
I am a lifetime Missouri resident (70 years). I consider myself somewhat more knowledgeable than those from other states pertaining to how MoPeople think. Clair McCaskill not only gave Obama the 60th vote that put Obamacare over the line but sold herself out to everything else he wanted. She thinks we have forgotten but we haven't. Missouri will vote (against) McCaskill by voting for Akin. They would vote for the local town dog catcher if he were running against her. I predict a landslide victory for Romney and Akin will ride in on his coat tails. Missouri will come through for this country.
If "conservative Akin-haters force him to abandon his campaign, his successor will most likely be some hack or a tired retread like John Danforth.
