A write-in candidate would only split the vote, allowing Claire McCaskill to cruise to another term. I can't think of a write-in candidate who would have enough appeal to win over the Akin supporters--and there are apparently a lot of them--who believe their candidate is getting a bum rap and resent the meddling by outsiders such as Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin and the GOP establishment.
The best thing to do is to call off the pile-on, accept Akin's apology and get behind him.
Sure, I will get behind him. I can’t vote for him, as I don’t live in Fla.
I am not sending any money to him, are you?
That is the bottom line. You can’t run a successful campaign with no money.
