I suspect that the polls are skewed and that people who would otherwise vote for Akin might be reticent to tell a pollster their true intentions.
I’m going out on a limb. Akin 52/48.
Romney will carry the state 54/46.
The difference is in the 2% who actually give a damn about Akin’s early statement.
The big difference is the number of people who will crawl across a mile of broken glass to vote out Obama.
Crawl across broken glass and under barbed wire while 50 cal rounds sizzle overhead is where I am
I’m with you. WMR leads in the state in polls by 10-14% More than enough to carry Aiken over the line.
In addition, with a lead like that in MO I don’t see how WMR loses this election.
I was at a call center this past thursday night. They told me there that internal polling had Romney plus 15%.
I’d crawl alot farther...seriously.
2 votes for Mitt and Todd Akin right here...me and the Mr...we’ll be at the door when the polls open.
I’d pondered sitting outside the polling place blasting Hank William’s Jr song, “We Don’t Apologize For America,” for an hour before I went in, and beeping my horn after the part where he tells Obama to go back to Chicago.
But, I am just gonna vote instead.
Missouri could be decided by Romney’s coattails. A state that befuddles me is Indiana which is strongly Romney, but in the Senate the Democrat leads by 3.
Rasmussen’s state numbers in Missouri are way out of date. He has Ohio senate tied, but the Republican was hurt by a generally republican paper, the Cincy Enquirer, coming out against him because “he isn’t ready.” It’s true that he’s young, but Sherrod Brown is the most reliable liberal vote in the Senate.
Romney will have to work with a democratic Senate. Depending on your view of Romney that is thought-provoking.
