The real numbers look good; Rassmussen made up his own because the GOPe own him, lock, stock, and lard barrel.

I concur.

Then don’t run!

McCaskill’s big problem is Obamacare, and she is toast because of it.

[editor-surveyor]

Akin will win comfortably.

And anyone sensible reading that has just learned they cannot trust the Democrats, because no intelligent person could believe that the Republicans have the kind of “rape policy” she is implying.

If it happens for Akin, I will be very happy to be proven wrong. McCasKILL needs to be sent home.

I am a firm believer in adoption. Many years ago, I tried to adopt. We do not disagree about wanting McCasKILL gone.

If Akin were a liberal, the Republican establishment would be saying that Akin may not be perfect but this election is too important to not support him. They would be saying that it’s more important to take control of the Senate than to let issues or principles get in the way of voting for the Republican nominee.

But he’s a conservative so they don’t mind throwing him under the bus and all but assuring that the Democrat keeps the seat. Hopefully conservative groups will give him enough money to win the seat.

I think you're right.

I seem to remember that Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Oregon, was quite an embarrassment. He was a well-known sexual harasser (would force his tongue down the throats of women in elevators ... that sort of thing).

Packwood was a pro-abortion RINO. Yet the GOP establishment supported him all the way, as I recall, despite his creepy behavior toward women.

Akin has done nothing like Packwood. In fact, I don't find what Akin said "offensive" at all!

(And I'm a woman, so hope I may be allowed to say that. /s)

[SUSSA]

It really exposes them as the hypocrites they are. They will almost ensure that one of the dumbest and most liberal Democrats will keep that seat by not supporting the conservative Republican nominee. Yet when there is a liberal nominee or even a conservative challenge to a liberal, they try to tell conservatives that they have to support the liberal.

Packwood is a good example, Specter was another example, the endorsement of Crist is another. Hell the Senate is filled with examples. But people buy their BS and go along with it so the Rockefeller Republicans retain control of the party.

Hopefully, some conservative packs will pour enough money into this race to score a win. Then Akin can go to the Senate and stick his finger in the establishment’s eye every time they try to pass crap legislation. He’ll owe them nothing except contempt.

Here is yesterday's Rasmussen MO poll (9/13/2012). Akin is toast and should have gotten out.
