Since Akin won the primary, he doesn’t have to step down.
Any attempt to run a write-in in Missouri will simply split the party. Missouri is a huge population compared to Alaska where a write-in candidate worked.
A write-in would probably just throw the election to McCaskill.
“A write-in would probably just throw the election to McCaskill.”
Not sure if you’re paying attention but that’s exactly what Akin already did with his comments. They’ve got nothing to lose now and need to keep the pressure up on him to GTFO. Its problematic when the Democrat in the race is the Republican candidate’s biggest fan.
Akin will win. This story has no legs and the sheeple will foget it by friday. People voted for him. He won. Party hacks like cornyn or Ann Coulter don’t trump democracy. Have the vote. I think when people come off this hysteria they will see that it was promoted by thr “chicken little press” in order to kill babies. “HOW DARE YOU NOT KILL THIS BABY IF MOMMY SAYS DADDY RAPED HER!!!”
