Many, many things Romney can do, as well as a Republican Senate to "change" Obi-Care. But there is no chance of doing this with Ma in the Senate.

Akin is and has been strong on RKBA. Rated 'A' by GOA for years now. Ma rated F.

The DUI thingy doesn't mean much to me.As long as he didn't kill anyone while trying to get home.

Akin favors tax reform. Ma doesn't. List goes on and on and has been discussed here a thousand times.

You're 100% correct. But what will Romney actually do? He's said a lot of things, but considering what he thought was a good idea in Massachusetts, I don't see him repealing Obamacare.

But there is no chance of doing this with Ma in the Senate.

I don't think McCaskill will be the deciding factor here, I think it will be Romney. Romney bragged about how he worked with a legislature that was 87% Democrat. You know how you do that? You make your policies 87% liberal. One vote in the Senate is not going to change the guy who wields the pen in the Oval Office.

I'm not dismissing your views. It wasn't an easy decision for me or my friends in Springfield to support Dine. Also, we'll see if Dine's votes cost Akin the election. Current polling suggests he'd lose in a 2-way race. It's my opinion that a strong 3rd-party turnout will help convince the GOP-E to support better candidates. I find it hard to believe that no one in the MO GOP-E knew that Akin was getting support from the Democrats.
