If Akin withdraws and Missourians are left with only a ‘write-in’ opportunity to defeat McCaskill...

Not true...

Regarding replacing Todd Akin if he withdraws - the Republican Central Committee will choose the replacement. That replacement can be someone who lost in the primary. So Steelman or Brunner could still end up as the candidate. Akin would have to withdraw and get a court order by Sept. 25.

The court may sign off but SOS Carnahan still can contest their decision. And I suspect she will.

Also, if Steelman should be chosen over Brunner? Food fight. Vice versa? Food fight. This entire episode has turned out to be a giant pile of hot, steaming excrement.

Methinks the only way to put this aside is Ann Wagner. Only way to stop the "rape issue." But times 'a wastin'. And Akin still must petition the court and her highness must go along with their decision...

Okay, you focus on threading that needle (Akin withdrawal, court granting order, GOPe choosing Steelman) and I'll focus on encouraging conservatives to accept an apology and support a conservative who has supported them with his voting record for years.
