No, this...Even so, there’s widespread agreement on both sides of the aisle that Akin presents the weakest threat to McCaskill and his nomination could provide her a window of opportunity to save a seat the GOP needs to flip Senate control in November. Assuming President Barack Obama is reelected, Republicans must pick up four seats to attain the majority.

Akin’s 12-year voting record is more susceptible to attack and his deeply held conservative beliefs have prompted him to make statements that Democrats believe are outside the mainstream for most Missourians.

And I counter with this...from @reply 150

The new ad follows what has been McCaskill's tactic throughout the Missouri GOP primary race: to tar Akin as too conservative for Missouri, a state Democrats hope can swing in favor of Obama this year, despite a narrow loss in 2008. Akin was the favored candidate to win the GOP Senate primary, as Democrats hope his Tea Party ties will make him vulnerable.

I used that article in conjunction with other information in forming my own conclusions in order to give my opinion.

You use your article as evidence when it's actually nothing more than someone else's stated opinion which is drawn from their conclusions.

Do you always let others do your thinking for you?
