why can’t some folks just keep their yaps shut????
It was a strange set of circumstances that put him in this position, and it probably is a little unfair. But this Senate seat comes up once every six years; it's too important to let a personal quest to prevail over the best course for the country. And fair or not, he blew his lead over McCaskill. I'll vote for Akin, but I sure haven't talked to very many who will say aloud that they support him.
His only chance is that people see his name and McCaskill's on that ballot and immediately come to their senses.
