I am curious. If Akin were to step down who would take his place?
Would they have any better chance to win than he does?

Either of the primary runnerups would have been a better choice if akin would have done the right thing and stepped down.
His desire for power and selfishness prevented him from doing what is right. Without the democrats voting for him in the primary he would have lost.
