Ann Wagner. Already has staff working to get her elected to Akin's House Seat. Either Steelman/Brunner would have a fairly good chance at recalling staff as they stood down but two weeks ago. Would not be easy. But could be done.

Methinks Republicans in Missouri are SO eager to see Akin withdraw that ton$ of $ would flow in to whoever gets named. RNC would restore $5 million. Votes would follow. At one time Steelman polled 11 points over Mother McCaskill.

But Akin will have to petition court first and their decision must run by the SOS. She being a rabid Dem.

But time is fast running out...Military overseas ballots go out Sept. 22...

Akin has to withdraw quickly in order to get the Courts to approve the substitution. Sufficient public pressure will be put on Carnahan and others to approve the switch.

However, if he delays, then the courts and Carnahan will be a lot less friendly — and get away with it.
