“Have Steelman do a Murkowski.”
It won’t work. It worked for Murkowski & Lieberman because they had both been Senators FOR YEARS.
And I don’t think either ran in a pres. year (Maybe lieberman did). In a pres. year running a 3rd party candidate really risks getting McCaskill re-elected.
Better to let this schmuck stay on the ticket and HOPE Romney’s got enough coattails to carry him across.
It’s either that or the party goes to court tomorrow to try and dislodge him against his will. But I’m not sure they would even have standing to do that.
He’s really a prideful, despicable pig. And if Huckabee is still supporting him, so is he.
There might be another way, but the Dems and Obama are so much better at it. Akin has been in politics a long time. The party should know where the bodies are buried. He could be approached and told he has until 5pm to withdraw or be hauled off in handcuffs (assuming there is anything to use).
