“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.
That speaks poorly for the intelligence of the Missouri voter. One verbal gaffe, which really affects no one in the real world in their real lives, is enough to cause people to vote for Obama? In a referendum, Missouri voters went 71% against Obamacare. Are you saying that Missouri voters would rather have Obamacare fully implemented rather than elect someone who would repeal it all because of a poor choice of words by a GOP senate nominee? If that is the case, then Missouri and this country deserve the government it gets. Maybe, we are just too dumb to be trusted with the fate of the country.

If you still haven't made up your mind as to which way to voter or even vote at all, then Romney has a very serious problem and could well lose Missouri, which McCain barely won in 2008.
