Akin is toast, no doubt about it. He’ll step down.

Sarah Steelman is the best choice, IMO. A strong conservative woman can pound McCaskill relentlessly and McCaskill can’t whine sexism or male chauvanist pigism or whatever she would yell at a male candidate.

GO SARAH!

(But what do I know, I vote in PA)

I think Ann Wagner would have a better chance of beating McCaskill. If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on Wagner being the replacement.

Perhaps it's my fervid imagination but doesn't Akin look like he could be the brother of Exeter from "This Island Earth?"
