Here’s the political calculation that will go on in the average Missourian’s mind:
Akin said something dumb but he promptly apologized for doing so versus McCaskill who is a very good OBot supporting that Epic Failure Obama?
Gee, what’s going to cost me more?? Supporting Epic Failures McCaskill/OBama v. change for the better life?
The choice is very easy here.
Your average Missourian elected a dead guy as governor. All bets are off.
