“Wrong answer. If you really care about the fate of the country as so many of the anti-Akin posters say, then you will vote for Akin not “may” vote for him. Akin is the only other person on the ballot who can defeat McCaskill. Same rationale as voting for Romney. It is one or the other.”
Well, I could turn that around, and say Akin should drop out for the sake of the country. Again, he’s too tone-deaf to do so. Perhaps the threat of a third party challenger will help him make the moral choice. And I’m not at all convinced he is the only person who can beat Claire ... not anymore. His name on the ballot could potentially cost Romney the state of Missouri, which I also didn’t think was possible before this debacle began.
I guess I’m old-fashioned and think Akin and Romney should earn my vote. Perhaps in the end, the fear of the alternatives will compel me to vote for subpar candidates.
