Missouri Senate Race Update: Claire McCaskill vs. Todd Akin (46% v. 45.2%; 8.8% Undecided)
Oposing Views ^ | Tue, October 09, 2012

Given what's come out of the mouth of Rep. Todd Akin (R) in the last couple months, casual observers might assume he no longer stands a chance anymore to oust incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) from her Missouri Senate seat.

They would be wrong.

A poll released by We Ask America on Oct. 2 shows McCaskill had a lead of less than a percentage point over Akin, 46 to 45.2; that's less than the margin of error, with 8.8 percent of voters undecided

You’re right- and when he does win, we’ll have our very own Joe Biden...

At this stage, "undecided" = "unwilling to tell a stranger you're voting for Akin".

I do hope that Akin wins this race, but that’s my emotional side. My rational side says that he won’t. This poll doesn’t agree with other polls that show this is still a +6 McCaskill advantage. The best news in the poll is the large undecided. I think that’s Akin’s only hope.

McCaskil is saturating the KC media markets with disgusting adds that are hurting Akin among the wishy washy independents and “moderates”. He will get the conservative vote including my children, but I don’t think that it will be enough.

Romney’s coat-tails will do the trick.

“FREEPERS like yourself are disgusting gutter rats.”

With reputation you have for a combination of stupid and/or informed comments, you’re about the last person to be taking shots at someone else.

if the adage “all politics is local” is really true and particularly true this year in Missouri, Akin CAN surely still win
