I think its doubtful.
“Fortunately” (sarcastic) we have FReepers and GOP officials busy condemning and campaigning against conservative Senate candidates while ignoring or even totally supporting the moderate to liberal RINO’s. Aren’t you glad they are on “our” side?
If we do not win the Senate, it will be a message that we need to prepare to run independent and third party conservative candidates.
As far as I can see, at this point Akin is merely running as a Republican to help the GOP and Michelle Bachmann too. They're gaining nothing from the party but if they win the party gains that seat. If Akin and Bachmann win they should pull a John McCain and his group of 7 or whatever it was called and spend their entire term threatening to change from Republican to Independent or join the Constitution Party if things do not go as they want.
