From what I understand about him, I know what is in his heart. If I were in Missouri, yes, I would vote for him. But he has made himself radioactive. It is the grand slam of screwups because he turned around a very winnable race.
And what makes you think that conservatives in Missouri will support a replacement candidate handpicked by the party elitists?? That will be unwinnable.
Today with the inter net we have a different situation. We picked him and can beat the Democrats on the issue. IMO I'm tired of the abortion debate, but Akin to his credit isn't.
