After he was caught in some crooked financial dealing, Democrats threw Torricelli out of his candidacy for Sen. from NJ at the last minute and put in Lautenberg, who remains in office to this sweet day.
Why can’t Republicans do the same in this case and put in Palin’s better choice that this nitwit? They need to do it today, or McCaskell will be Senator for the rest of her life.
They need to act fast. Akin is now a national disaster and has reignited the "Republican War on Woman" talking point.
KMOX's host says Akin is a "no show" with his schedule having changed in light of the controversy. We can only hope that means the Party's giving him his walking papers.
In the primary John Brunner was second and Sarah Steelman third in a tight race.
McCaskill ran ads that helped Akin. It's self evident why.
Palin's choice finished 3rd. If anything, the GOPe choice should be put in because he finished 2nd. However, even though Steelman finished 3rd, she is a woman and she might be a better choice.
Legally Torricelli withdrew from the race, he wasn't removed. Now there is no doubt is withdrawl was done with a whole lot of pressure from the Democrats in Jersey but the fact is he wasn't kicked off the ballot. Unless Akin voluntarily withdraws then I don't think there is a whole lot the Missouri GOP can do. I don't see him doing that on his own.
