He can go to Court until September 25th to get off the Ballot

[lasereye]

I could be wrong but I don’t believe God chose him for this Senate seat.

[uncbob]

After this failure of judgment and character, he doesn't deserve to win. He's not the kind of person that the Senate needs.

Compared to what is in the senate today I'll take him no problem

[nhwingut]

It goes without saying that abortion-in-the-case-of-rape is a deeply controversial social issue. Despite holding a passionate position on the issue as a lawmaker, he never performed the most basic of research on it. This reveals an apathetic intellect, at the very least.

Bingo... How do you rely on something you "read somewhere." The guy came off as an intellectual lightweight. And his followup interviews confirmed the classification.

this is what happens when crossovers can vote in primaries. the republicans in every state need to state there can only be republicans voting in the primary and work to change any rules that allow for same day voting/party affiliation change. should not be allowed within 60 days of an election.

I heard Gov Sarah Palin on Greta TV show saying she is willing to help initiate a 3rd party run in MO with Ms Steelman as the candidate. Sarah is right as usual. We can not afford to lose the senate and be stuck with Obamacare permanently. I am willing to contribute to such a 3rd party run in MO.

future articles about Romney:

Romney says Todd Akin he will introduce Todd Akin energy plan next Todd Akin week

"The presumptive Republican Todd Akin presidential nominee dropped by Todd Akin the Houstonian for lunch on Todd Akin Tuesday and departed Todd Akin less than an hour later Todd Akin with about $6 million Todd Akin in his campaign money bags.

On a fundraising Todd Akin swing through Texas before Todd Akin the start of the Todd Akin Republican National Convention next Todd Akin week, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney Todd Akin told a luncheon gathering Todd Akin of about Todd Akin 125 people that his No. 1 Todd Akin priority as president Todd Akin would be "to take full advantage of Todd Akin our energy resources."

Romney assured his Todd Akin listeners at the high-dollar fundraiser Todd Akin, that he tells Todd Akin Ohio audiences the same Todd Akin thing he tells Texas audiences Todd Akin about the importance Todd Akin of energy. He also said Todd Akin he would be introducing Todd Akin a comprehensive energy Todd Akin plan during a visit Todd Akin to New Mexico Todd Akin next week.

"I want Todd Akin to take advantage of oil Todd Akin, gas, coal, renewables Todd Akin, nuclear, all of the Todd Akin above in a Todd Akin very aggressive way," Romney Todd Akin said.

The former Todd Akin Massachusetts governor was introduced by Todd Akin Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who was Todd Akin high on the vice-Todd Akin-presidential list before Romney's choice of Wisconsin Todd Akin Congressman Paul Ryan. In his introductory Todd Akin remarks, Portman told Romney Todd Akin that a recent Todd Akin poll suggested that the race in Todd Akin Ohio was neck-and-Todd Akin-neck. "The resources Todd Akin being raised here Todd Akin today will help us take Todd Akin you over the top," he Todd Akin said."

My commentary:

He tried to engage the PeePee & Cooter Party on their own turf.

Many Republicans and conservatives don't understand the Democrats. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid do all the complex thinking for the hive mind. The rank & file Democrats are left with that which they understand - their PeePees and their Cooters. As this is what they think about most of their day (since the important thoughts are being taken care by Big Brain Obama), they're self-anointed experts on the subject.

So Todd Akin wanders into their playpen and presumes to tell them how their ladyparts and littleboyparts work.

Smooth move, Exlax...

If you don't believe me, go read the comments on nearly any other site. It's all smugness about knowing more about their ladyparts than this old fossil Akin.

So God never calls anyone to run for office? Maybe God wants a real man who will stand up to Obama and talk about his stand on abortion up to 9 months and even infanticide. The spineless, pink pantywaist gop bend to everything the dems throw at them. Where have all the brave men gone? The gop, and many who follow them have been feminized. Maybe we have Obama as a punishment because of how our society has allowed 50 million innocent babies to be brutally murdered. Maybe our economy is a mess (caused by Obama) because we care more about money than the things that matter to God, like murder, homosexuality, and our children. I know, I'm very politically incorrect. God does see and know all & if you read the bible, He does punish nations for their sins.

[GlockThe Vote]

Akin is a delusional psychotic freak show.

[TChad]

Could he still do so? Yes, through petitioning a Missouri court in what appears to be a fairly simple process.

If I understood Mark Levin correctly, the problem with that "simple process" is that the specific court to be petitioned is dominated by Democrats and is unlikely to grant the petition.

Still, I suppose that is our best shot. All this talk of a third party run is absurd. None of the Republicans who lost in the primary can run because of Missouri's "sore loser" law, and in any case a third party would just split the conservative vote unless Akin drops out.

So we probably have to get to 51 without Missouri. On that subject, I found this slightly encouraging:

>> It goes without saying that abortion-in-the-case-of-rape is a deeply controversial social issue.

Too bad this self-enamored intellect fails to understand Akin’s argument concerns abortion in the case where rape did not occur.

If there are statements by Akin to the contrary, I’m interested.

well said

[newzjunkey]

It's a good piece but I'm uncertain whether Brunner or Steelman can be chosen by the party to replace Akin under MO law.

As I recall the statute, neither can run in the general after having lost in the primary. They certainly cannot run as write-in candidates.
