True, but if the party wants him to resign and dangles the possibility that he can run for his current seat then he may go for that. And in order to do that they would need to move Ann Wagner to the senate race. By all indications she's a solid conservative, at least according to her congressional website. She's a woman, which would make it hard for McCaskill to user the DNC 'war on women' arguments. She's been head of the GOP in Missouri. And she's someone McCaskill isn't prepared to take on. We could do a lot worse. You're right. I've thought about Ann Wagner, and agree that she would make a good replacement. And Akin's district--my district--is a relatively safe GOP seat, and could be so even for Akin after this. Or Jim Talent could run for this seat again.

Or Jim Talent could run for this seat again. He's mildly tarred because he lost to McCaskill 6 years ago. And Ashcroft lost to a dead man. Hauling Talent or Ashcroft or Bond out of mothballs smacks of the old boy network, too. Better to go with a fresh face I think. Ann Wagner just might be the answer.
