The problem is not conservatives, or even Republicans (except for some women), the problem for Akin is Independents. McCaskill has millions in the bank to remind the voters what he said and it will keep him from getting above 50%. The race just isn’t competitive anymore.
So the 71% of the MO voters who voted against Obamacare will vote to reelect the senator who voted FOR Obamacare and does not want it repealed rather than for the candidate who voted AGAINST Obamacare and wants it repealed? For some verbal gaffe? I guess MO is going Obama.
