Akin could actually win this thing if he can put the stupid comments behind him, and not go on a seemingly endless apology tour like George Allen did. Only being down by 5 isn’t bad for him at this point.

Amen. He has apologized for the costly fumble in the first half.
Let’s move on and win in the second half.
Apparently, the GOPe believe in kicking the quarterback off the team for one costly mistake.
If Akin is really within five, can he pull it off? It’s still more than two months ‘til the election.
He’s down 9. The original story was wrong and later corrected.

Corrected version:
“When National Journal buries a lead, man, they really bury it. A new poll from Mason-Dixon in Missouri of 625 likely voters shows what everyone already suspected — that Todd Akin had blown a five-point lead in Missouri’s US Senate race and now trails by nine, 50/41 [see update], to Claire McCaskill. But what many didn’t expect was that the crash-and-burn of Akin would not damage Mitt Romney at all”
See Post #25
This poll is very close in results to Rasmussen. Akin is down 9.
