Surely there is someone of good repute in the MO Senate or House can run and win. Surely. Anyway, how can Akin continue to campaign with no money? Also, I’d think that Romney would have assured the guy a plum ambassadorship by now to get him to quit. What does he gain himself by staying in and losing?
How about Libertarian canidate?
“Looks like Akin is staying in, might as well start exploring other options.”
How about supporting Rep. Akin? After all, he is pro-life, genuinely conservative, and a far sight better than Claire McCaskill. Also, he won the primary!
Good thinking. Or at least, a write-in campaign may be our least-bad option.
Hey, it worked, unfortunately, in Alaska for Lisa Turdbronski. But Alaska is much more of a red state, so relatively few voters there were inclined to vote Democratic. In contrast, Missouri is barrrrely red, having gone to McCain in 2008 by only 0.1%.
There are precincts in St. Louis that routinely turn in more ballots than registered voters, and they turn them in very late so they know how many votes they need to manufacture.
The write in candidate had better be named Ted Poe (or something likewise easy to spell) as unlike Alaska we are not likely to find a sympathetic judge to count votes for Murkilowski, Morkuwsi, Muckorski, and Muckalowski in our favor.
Under those rules, Brunner and Steelman are out as write-ins.
The only ones who could win a write in would be Bond, or Talent or Ashcroft.
Big name recognition.
Constitution party?
Won statewide before and easy to spell.
