The trouble is that there is a paradox at work.
Most pollsters are biased left, but while Rasmussen is said by some to be biased right, does this mean conservative right or Republican establishment right?
So while before I asked for polling results, truthfully, I’m not sure we can get honest polling results right now. And add to that, will those poll results stay fixed?
The Democrats only rarely cut a candidate loose for any gross thing they do as long as it is left-leaning. But the Republicans are quick to do so, often without further consideration of what that means.
Since I do not believe there is any way to put up a replacement, even in a write in campaign, by Missouri law, its Republicans are stuck with Akin or nobody.
So it boils down to this: like him or not, is it better to have a critical seat in the US senate or not?
To me that is a no brainer question. I want a GOP senator from Missouri not McCaskell.
Angle let Reid remain in the senate and look how we have propsered given that fact.
We also lost a seat in Delaware we had in our hip pocket in 2010.
Maybe the polls are wrong, but I doubt it. And even if it is less than 10% I have a sawbuck that says it is at leat 7%.
Akin is toast and he is going to drag the GOP down with him.
