From the article:

Congressman Akin has made clear to Missouri voters that he is staying in this race all the way to November, and county election boards are taking him seriously

I have no doubt that this is correct, you have been saying so for some time, and you clearly know what you are talking about. Akin will stay in the race and he will lose. That's just the way its going to be. No sense wasting any more time and energy on it, and certainly no point in anyone spending any money on Akin's statewide Windmill Tilting Tour. I would spend money to get the T-shirt, but little else.

What a shame, the race was ours. I hope that Akin has a backup plan for life after November.

Considering the public bashing Akin got at the hands of so-called conservatives, the fact that he’s neck and neck with McCaskill is remarkable. I wish the Repubs would stop handwringing and start knocking on doors for this guy. What would be the point of putting someone else in this race now?

eh, leave him alone, it is too late and nobody else wants to touch it now.

It is up to Akin to be creative and win. Totally up to Akin.

Color me stupid, but I think Akin has a decent shot.....decent enough that I whacked my plastic and sent him some money. What it boils down to is whether we want to elect a fine, honest, pro-life candidate; or whether we’d rather badmouth him for a penny ante mistake and HAND the election to an abortion queen!

But many election jurisdictions have already begun to print ballots, creating a potentially monumental headache for the candidate if he were to wait until that deadline.

It's no headache at all. It was always known Akin's campaign would be legally responsible for printing costs if he exited in time for the Sept 25 deadline.

Sad to see the PhonyCon Liberals just wont shut up about Akin. Real conservatives accept his apology and have moved on.
