LordMcCain with Sarah's help won Missouri by a hair in 2008. Do you remember how it was that Claire beat Talent back in 2006?
I totally agree up till Akin shot off his mouth the majority of independents were leaning to the ‘right’. I do not believe that is the case right this minute. Romney's whole primary campaign was to, for and about getting the independents. BUT to try and pacify the base he got Ryan to be his running mate. And along comes Akin and basically created the worst ‘bad’ press all by himself than all the Republicans together have generated out side of Obama cheap shots.
Oh, let me be clear here, I have yet to decide IF I will vote for Romney come November. IF Akin is the only option I will vote for him.

Agreed. We can only play the hand we're dealt.
