What exactly are Akin’s ideas?
This whole argument over Todd Akin within the GOP over whether Akin should bow out of his fairly-earned nomination wouldn't even be necessary if the electorate in Missouri - and presumably in just about every state - was not so dumb that so many would change their vote from Akin to McCaskill on the basis of one gaffe for which he sincerely apologized.
The same thing apparently happened in Virginia in 2006 when George Allen uttered the word "macaca," a word that 99.9 percent of the voters probably never heard of before.
Now who is more of a fool: a candidate like Akin or Allen or a significant percentage of the electorate who would change their vote because of some otherwise trivial mistake by the candidate that the opposition and its lackeys attack like wolves devouring a carcass?
The MSM and the 'Rat Party think that the electorate is stupid (just as Rush Limbaugh said the other day) and it seems that the electorate doesn't usually disappoint them. That's one of the main reasons why the country in such trouble.
Jim Talent has said “I’m totally ruling out” any effort to take Akin’s place on the ballot. However, he did say that John Cornyn’s call of Akin to drop out of the race was “very appropriate.”
Other possible replacements include Akin’s primary opponents, Sarah Steelman and John Brunner. Steelman had Sarah Palin’s endorsement and could put up a good fight for the seat. Jo Ann Emerson and Sam Graves, with their length of service in the House of Representatives, would also be viable candidates.

Says it all, IMO.
We have already seen the perfect candidate, and her name is Sarah
I STILL want akin out, but you know what, if he is staying in, then I am going to shut up and hope for the best. This horse is done beat,.
"On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Todd Akin has decided to stay in the race in Missouri and although Mark doesn't necessarily agree that his decision was the best one to make, it is more important to defeat McCaskill than to not support Akin. We have the country at stake here and the future of it, and we must stop people like Claire McCaskill and other liberals that want to continue the direction the country is heading and vote them out. We may have some resentment that Akin didn't resign and step down from the race, but that's over now and we must support him if we are serious about wanting to take the Senate."
