Apparently there's a loophole in MO law which would allow Akin to swap races with Ann Wagner, who's the nominee in his CD.
It's not a loophole. Ann Wagner would exit her race in the same manner, and then each would get nominated by the party.
The only reason to give it to Wagner is to free up MO-02 for Akin to save his career.
Wouldn't that put MO-02 in play, if Akin is parachuted back in? Granted, if that is the price it would be worth it, but still.
Not really. This is a R+7 or so district full of straight ticket southern Republicans. Why do you think Carnahan and Clay passed it up?
And even if it does, House seats are expendable.
krazen, keeping the spin to a minimum, what's your outlook on Ann Wagner? Do you know much about her?
