re: Others have been asked but have turned it down. They don’t want the hassle and fear of saying something wrong and to then be abandoned by those they fight for. And do you blame them???

I love inside info. Who has been asked and turned it down? If Akin dropped out, it is the Republican Central Committee who would choose a replacement. Please share with us what you know. Have you spoken with any of them? I have.
It is interesting that someone who would be asked to step in and have a shot at the Senate would turn it down because they don’t want the hassle and fear of saying something wrong and then be abandoned by those they fight for. I am impressed with your sources. I would have thought they someone stepping in would know they would get immediate and overwhelming financial support from conservatives, pro-lifers, and the party because of the desire to send McCasKILL packing. But then, I hardly know anything about politics.
I'll bet you do -- doesn't everybody.
It seems that Uncle Chip does know quite a bit about Missouri politics. He may well be a source for some great insider info. Why, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he is a member of the Akin family, Uncle indeed. They will all enjoy the party following the concession speech in November.
