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??
Ann Wagner is impressive. I am not sure about the two that got defeated.
What about Sarah Steelman?
It’s The Lautenberg Sanction. Kind of like The Bourne Ultimatum only with less exciting chase scenes.
Of course, since the powers that be have unchained the Romneybots, Romney's minions are out in force working here to achieve that goal.
I was thinking Sarah S
Who would select the replacement? none of the names you mentioned were even on the ballot. Brunner came in 2nd to Akin. The entire thing is a damn shame because Akin is more conservative than Romney, Scott Brown, Reince Priebus, Anne Coulter and the gop establishment. His record attests to that but guess words speak louder than ACTIONS. Kit Bond is a moderate...Ashcroft is not in good health and Jim Talent lost the last election
Tom Schweich isn’t a coot.
Makes you wonder if this is a set-up to get somebody on the ballot who wasn’t going to survive a primary challenge.
Step One: Win the primary.
Step Two: Say something afterwards that is extremely controversial and poorly-stated.
Step Three: Step down so some retread can run without a Tea Party challenge.
Can’t really imagine The Stupid Party being that clever. If these were Democrats though, it would make sense but then if these were Democrats, everyone would circle the wagons and defend the idiot comment otherwise Obama and Biden would already be out of a job.
