I do have a clue. The bottom line is this. If what you all say is true, the seat is already lost no matter if Akin steps down or if a replacement is found.
So, rather than fight and accept the situation as it is, know that the seat, in your minds is already lost and accept defeat gracefully.
Thank you all for your time and responses.
No, it is not lost---that's the point. There are any number of people who will beat McCaskill---just not that selfish idiot Akin.
Ras today has her up 10 over Akin now---a 14 point shift since last poll.
