That is exactly my point. If this is done quickly, Carnahan cannot play games and drag this out - there will be too much statewide and national attention put on her.

She will be publicly reminded that her own dead father was illegally elected.

Akin needs to go today, but I will settle for the opening day of the Democratic Convention as an alternative, since they are making the entire show about him.

Her father was legally elected in accordance with MO election laws at that time. He died Oct.17,2000. After the deadline to have one's name removed from the ballot. But everyone understood they were voting for the widow Carnahan. Ashcroft stood down. Big mistake. Jean C won.

But "pressure" to date has not brought Akin down. Robin Carnahan HATES Republicans. She has never played well with them. Any "pressure" brought on her will be like water off a ducks back. Then again, maybe she'll surprise me (us) ?
