Akin should step aside, otherwise Steelman should run 3rd party, which she would support.

A Steelman third-party run would absolutely guarantee a McCaskill victory. Dumb idea.

McCaskill is probably already guareenteed to win against Akin alone!

[Truthsearcher]

McCaskill is going to win anyway at this point. After thinking it over I’m leaning toward a third party run as a way for the GOP to distance themselves from Akin and save the rest of the ticket.

[chronicles]

You are right. Unless Akin withdraws, we are stuck with him. We supported Brunner but at the last minute I switched to Steelman, but either one would be preferable to Akin. What idiotic thing will he say next?

[rabidralph]

And do you think Akin can defeat McCaskill with his sudden baggage?

A Steelman third-party run would absolutely guarantee a McCaskill victory. Dumb idea.

Can’t be done according to MO law, but it was allowed, would be a far more interesting race.

Akin is in flames and there are no extinguishers...never thought I’d see a man commit seppuku on live TV....and he did it with a spork!!!

[KC_Conspirator]

Correct, dumb idea.
