My instincts here are to get a bad candidate off the list as soon as possible and put in someone without the problem that got the other one in trouble. A woman replacing him would be a good idea.

Let me guess??? Sarah Steelman, right???

It won't happen.

And BTW Missouri is still the Bible Belt. Things play different in Missouri than they do in Florida or other parts of the country -- and this soundbite will as well.

Aikin has been saying these things to voters in his district for over a decade and winning large majorities. That he is religiously prolife without exception as this soundbite indicates is not a surprise to anyone in Missouri.

As a matter of fact his district in northwest St Louis County is actually quite liberal compared to other areas outstate that are very prolife.

So get a grip. He misspoke and I'm sure he has learned a lesson from it.
