There are many phenomenal alternatives: Brunner, Steelman, Bond, Wagner, Emerson, among others.

In their absence, I say we nominate Porky Pig or Mickey Mouse. Either would poll better than Akin and have a better chance of winning without the collateral damage, as well.

If needs be, no one. We lose the seat either way, and with Akin gone there will be less risk of losing nationally or hurting the downticket races.

Of course, if you are hot to teach the Republican party a lesson and don't care about getting four more years of Obama and a Democratic Senate, then that argument doesn't hold much water.
