She may win this yet.

Akin, still a sexist creep: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/27/akin-mccaskill-more-ladylike-in-last-election/

Akin claims McCaskill's not "ladylike," eh?  Some male politicians just have no clue how to operate when their opponent is a competent female.  

We now have our answer to McCaskill's ad when she asked "What will he say next?"

Guys, if Akin ends up winning this, let's finally conclude there is no hope left for America.

It's not out of the question he could still win, but at this point the odds are against it.  The parallels with "macaca" and the Ken Buck/Sharron Angle crowd are pretty clear.  The fact he followed up his "legitimate rape" comment with the "ladylike" comment shows what a horrible candidate he is.  The race has (with good reason) turned into a referendum on Akin.  Now that the deadline has passed, I expect McCaskill to all-out attack and try to bury him ASAP.

We will probably hold the Senate because Akin is batsh!t crazy.
