| Description | Missouri GOP Senate nominee Todd Akin withdrawing from the race in the wake of his controversial remarks on rape doesn't seem likely right now -- he was never the GOP establishment's choice and is considered unlikely to yield to outside pressure -- but at least one of his primary opponents seems to be preparing for the possibility
Both of the congressman's Republican primary opponents have been active since the controversy erupted. Former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman posted a denunciation in a tweet ("Todd Akin's remarks about 'legitimate rape' were inexcusable, insulting and embarrassing to the GOP"). And businessman John Brunner has been making exploratory phone calls, according to a GOP strategist in Missouri. |
