If Akin is forced to withdraw I WILL vote for Claire McCaskil in November.
Look, Todd Akin is my congressman. I have voted for him for the House. I voted for him in the Senate primary. I understand the point he was trying to make in the interview about abortion. If he stays in this race, I will vote for him in November.
HOWEVER, the political reality is that there is now blood in the water and the sharks are circling. Akin fell for the trap and gave them the golden soundbite. Now the election will be about rape, instead of about McCaskill and Obama and the economy and jobs, etc. And we cannot let ObamaClaire win.
If there is a replacement for Akin, I will gladly for that person over ObamaClaire. There is NO WAY I could vote for McCaskill or not vote for her opponent.
You're joking, right?
