Steelman is female and has won statewide. Perfect antidote in this instance; and she was the strongest candidate we could have nominated.
Steelman is the solution at this point. Akin needs to step down, this controversy will follow him around and who knows what other gaffe’s this guy might come up. Politicians who make serious errors like this, usually make it a habit.
If he stays, this becomes an anchor around the necks of other GOP candidates who will be asked about rape and pregnancy instead of the economy. If he stays, McCaskill will most likely trounce him. A win is needed and Steelman can accomplish that.
