I agree with you. I felt bad for the guy. Now I hate him for what he has done and won’t do.

Yea, it’s a bummer. I would still vote for the guy if no Third Party, just because the election should only be about how they’ll vote in the Senate - not whether they’d make a good councilor in a rape crisis clinic, or be the kind of person you’d want preaching to your daughter.
But the problem isn’t me, or most FReepers, the problem is people that look at a Senator as someone they have to be able to defend in their social circle, and actually get embarrassed when their friends (from places like New York City) ask questions like “how can you live in a state where you have a kook like that in the Senate?”
Like I said at the beginning - if I thought this guy would be another Hitler, I’d vote against him - since Hitler first got power in a regional election. Other than that, I could care less whether he’s a political klutz. Unfortunately, that puts me with, probably, 40% of the voters in MO, while the next 15% (i.e., the people that would put him over the top) do want him to be a saint, and they will not vote for him now, at all - so he loses in a landslide, in a 2 party race.
