If Akin is destined to lose at this time, then there is a very high probability that his replacement will lose as well.
Are there any odds makers out there who would determine the odds of a replacement winning or losing.
They once said it was impossible for a write-in candidate to win a Senate Seat, but look what happened in Alaska in 2010.
The write-in candidate would have to be someone who is well-known and respected by Republicans, Independents, and Reagan Democrats, hopefully with an easy to spell name.
No decision will be made no, but maybe in a couple of weeks. We can hope Akin will either surge to the lead (unlikely) or drop out completely (also unlikely).
Easy to spell names: Bond, Talent, Ashcroft, Danforth.
(prediction: someone will post that all of these are RINOs, we need a real “conservative” like Akin)
