He has lost 20 points since his major league gaff. Latest Rasmussen Poll:

That’s about as dead as it gets. Ask someone who knows something about how elections really work. The fools in this conversation are the ones who believe that Akin can right the ship. Please refer to 2010 Senate results in Nevada, Connecticut, Colorado, Minnesota. Why are you so determined to help McCaskill get reelected?
Akin won the primary in large part because of McCaskill’s advertising accusing him of being the biggest conservative in the race. Voters who had no idea who he was, voted for him because they believed him to be the most conservative candidate - McCaskill’s ads had convinced them. Why did she run those ads? Because she knew that he was the only Republican candidate that she could possibly beat. She’s evil, but she ain’t dumb.
The two candidates endorsed by the major right to life groups, Steelman and Brunner, are still available. Pick one. They can run if Akin drops out. Get over the emotional attachment to a loser. Akin did this to himself.

Political realism is something quite alien to some people on this board.
He has lost nothing.
TYhe Rasmussen poll is a GOPe ass-kiss poll to try to take out a conservative candidate.
You’re a part of that excrement-fest.
