Not sure Akin will lose. MO is a very conservative state.
I’m not an Akin fan but Claire’s radio ads are getting desperate...
Well, it is except for St. Louis, Kansas City, the surrounding suburbs, and throw in Columbia for good measure. All of that means that Missouri is about evenly divided, but has trended more conservative in recent years. The winner of this race must have independents and a majority of the woman's vote. Akin can't do this, especially when McCaskill starts saturating the StL and KC media markets with adds reminding voters of the dangers of Akin's to women's "reproductive rights". That message will fall on deaf ears among conservatives, and they will largely vote for Akin. But, the critical votes that he needs for a victory will not pull the lever for him.
Conservatives seem to always make the mistake of thinking that conservative voters are sufficient to elect any pure conservative candidate. This is only true in the most red of states. Missouri is not in that category.
“MO is a very conservative state.”
that has a dem gov and senator. it is a swing state
