Todd Akin is a Democrat plant. I think he's actually working with the Obama campaign to purposely lose that seat and help bring down the Republicans this November.

He reminds me of Trent Lott here in Mississippi....for years, he bided his time, pretending to be a "Conservative Republican". Yet, at the precise moment he got the Senate Majority slot, he began doing things to help Democrats regain the Senate (don't forget that Lott began as a Democrat before conveniently switching to the Republicans in 1972).

Not. Given his voting record, I think *any* risk with Todd Akin is worth taking.
