Gracious condolences issued by Todd Akin to McCaskill..http://www.akin.org/updates/akin-statement-passing-betty-anne-mccaskill?fb_ppc_promo
Remember Carnahan’s death when Ashcroft was running; it is sad to lose a parent but this senate race is too important to lose on sympathy votes.

McCaskill was up 2 in the latest poll which was her slimmest lead since September. It looks like Akin won't win unless Romney is able to pull him over the finish line.

Ashcroft and Carnahan was a different situation since John's opponent was killed and replaced by the grieving widow.
