People are just stupid. Missourians will actually vote for Obama because of this??? I have no words
Yep, I find it hard to believe that Missouri would go to Obama because Todd Akin said something stupid.
McCain carried Missouri. All of the projections we talk about in the election have been giving Romney every single state McCain carried, and building up from there. If Missouri could be lost, we need to re-calculate.
If Romney wins, it will be a narrow margin in the electoral college, so every state is critical.

Well, yeah, but you are stating the obvious. Look at who they elected in 2008...
This points out what we are up against. I know one very nice, older woman in my church (in Pennsylvania, not Missouri) who said she heard that Paul Ryan said that some rape was legitimate. She is a "low information" voter who gets her information from the networks and hears soundbites from the Dems. I bet there are a lot of low information voters in Missouri who are convinced that Romney or Ryan said that some rape is legitimate. Or who know that Akin is a Republican and simply tar all Republicans with the same brush -- that they don't care about rape. And the media actively promotes this to keep the Dems in power. And these people aren't morons. They are average people who just don't pay attention.
People who post on these political boards just don't understand how little most of America cares about politics and how little they know about it.
I’m with you!!!
Either the poll is the usual BEE ESS, or the state of Missouri is in worse shape than we all thought.
Of course there is no denying they voted for McRascal.
I think this analogy would work here: People may think you vote stupidly so please don’t vote and remove all doubt.
I cannot believe some are this crazy to vote for O because some senate candidate made the mistake whopper of the year. By his comment, Akin shows he was never ready for prime time. Romney was not ready for this asshat taking down his election chances.
Mckaskill was road kill till he opened his mouth...now we have to rehabilitate his campaign or find a substitute to have a shot at getting O out of the lead. Neither is a viable choice IMO.
This one could be a twofer, the death party gets the presidency and keeps the senate over this dumbass’s comment with the supreme court to follow. This is big time politics here folks and we are losing.
People have become incapable of the kind of self government our Founding Fathers intended. Sadly, I’m not surprised.
My thoughts exactly!
I expect that many people who would otherwise vote Republican will just stay home in disgust at the mess.
