Prayers for Ann. Sarah Steelman is pro-life and Sarah Palin will be there to energize MO voters for her. I have suggested that Akin make a deal with the 68-member Republican Central Committee that he withdraw if he gets to name a pro-life successor who has a chance to win. That is the best solution here.

Steelman would be a no go. Palin didn't energize her in the primary and she couldn't in the general. And she is not really popular with conservatives here.

Wagner is the only choice but if you were her would you sacrifice a guaranteed election to Congress for a fight and a gamble against a seasoned pro.
