Possible Republican replacements, the Republican source said, include three former senators: John Ashcroft, Jim Talent, and Kit Bond. Other names being mentioned include former Ambassador Ann Wagner, who is running for Akin’s now-vacant seat; and Auditor Tom Schweich.
Geez! Roll out the old coots! How about one of the two other persons who were on the ballot just two weeks ago??
PLEASE for the good of the conservative movement and for the good of the people of MO, STEP DOWN Mr. Atkins.
If he stays in, he looks bad to many who want to vote for him but now can’t, and many of those are likely leaners, could go either way... you can be sure the’ll not vote for Akin after this... he just made McCaskill’s case for her, that he’s wacky right.

St. Louis – Today the Ann Wagner for Congress Campaign is honored to be among the first candidates endorsed by the Susan B. Anthony List. In 2010 the Susan B. Anthony List spent $11 million supporting pro-life candidates around the country and was successful in 62 of the 90 races they played in. This will be their sole endorsement in the Missouri 2nd Congressional District.
He didn’t sound like he was quitting on Hannity.
WTF? Who needs this establishment picks? What about John Brunner and Sarah Steelman? Disgusting.
He was pretty adamant on Hannity today that he wasn’t dropping out. We shall see tomorrow. I hope he does.
Curious that the replacement names do NOT include the 2nd and 3rd runners up challengers.
Allowing the party chair to select someone who didn’t even run for the position this year smacks of GOPe-liteism.
Great. An almost certain win and the elimination of a true scumbag and *poof*
Cue teh stupid.
Head -—————>Desk
If he stays in he costs us a seat we’d almost certainly get with someone else — anyone else — on the ballot.
I really hope he drops out.
If they select Ann Wagner to replace him then they'll need somoeone to fill the nomination for Akin's congressional seat. And since Akin won't be doing anything...and they need someone to run...could this be the deal being offered him? Keep your old job or wind up with nothing?
Wth? Shouldn’t his replacement be Brunner or Steelman?
Had he been a dem........
A gentle, non-judgmental conversation with a close friend should be able to resolve the situation without a great deal of trouble. That and a severed horse head on his pillow.
Sarah Steelman
His statement is TRUE!!!!!
I read about this years ago in Francis Shaeffer’s book HOW SHOULD WE THEN LIVE? - The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture.
As I recall, it quotes medical studies done on women who were raped in Nazi prison camps. The human body rejects impregnation in most cases. He’s being pilloried, for telling the truth and someone needs to come to his defense!

Pull Todd Akin’s feeding tube now -

Missouri GOP ought to just toss a coin between Brunner and Steelman. Quick and easy. No hard feelings that way. They probably won’t do it, though, invariably making a mess of things instead.
Personally, I’d root for Steelman just because it would more likely help diffuse some of the Dem’s idiotic war-on-women nonsense.
Sheriff Lobo? Didn't he die years ago?
