Or, is Akin's replacement going to win, or will he/she lose anyway?
Why would anyone else with political aspirations want to accept a loser's position?
IMHO. Either the Missourians and R's stick with this guy and do their best to help him win or abandon him like they are doing and help him lose. But, how does a replacement dig himself out of this hole? What is assure him/her that if they make a mistake that the R's and establishment R's won't cut and run, again?
As a door knob has no concept of its own existence, so too Todd Akin has no concept of what he has done and how it will affect at least the MO election and likely even the national... Yep, let’s stick with Doorknob Akin and kick some ass....... crickets....
