There’s talk in the blogosphere that conservatives may try to persuade John Danforth to run for his old job as a write-in candidate. Another name mentioned is Kit Bond. Both should have widespread name recognition.

You mean the same Danforth that tried to talk a fourth candidate into entering into the already crowded Senate primary back in March because he didn't like Steelman, Akin, or Brunner???

There is no sense dredging up the old Senators -- they won't fly. The viable names that have been brought up just won't run -- at this point particularly. And why would they??? They see a party that will abandon them in a minute if they say something wrong.

The talk in the blogosphere is just that. Talk. No one I know of wants "Panama John." Bond is 73. He stepped down 2 years ago. Has no interest in the job and it matter s little as Akin stated only yesterday he is staying. He, Todd Akin is the candidate. He and he alone can file a petition with the courts to remove his name from the ballot. Won't happen.

Military overseas ballots start shipping Sept.22. Absentee ballots on 25th. Again, it's Akin vs. McCaskill.

NEITHER John Danforth nor Kit Bond are true conservatives. Both are state party fixtures who began as conservatives but leaned more and more left as they spent time in Washington, DC.

I would never support either one over Todd Akin.

Thank God John Danforth is out!

He was a globalist power broker 100% of the time.

Akin is a real American patriot, Danforth a traitor to the bone. (and his protege Kay Baily Hutchison)
