There were 3 candidates in the Senate primary, and all 3 were beating McCaskill handily in head-to-head competitions, yes? This guy should step aside and let someone with a filter between their brain and mouth step in.
Besides the obvious ramifications for regaining the Senate, repealing Obamacare, etc, social conservatives should be asking themselves if this half-wit is who they want as the face of their movement. He epitomizes every caricature and stereotype the left has used to discredit evangelical Christians. Look for his candidacy, and what is sure to be a steady supply of gaffes and malapropisms, to feed that meme.
Kamikaze Akin's suicidal urge to stay in this race with no financial or institutional support just reinforces the image of fanaticism that the left pins on pro-lifers.
