I just figured Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) was toast but it seems the Baggers have come to her rescue.
Steve Benen has the basics on her GOP rival, Todd Akin:
And what is it, exactly, about Akin that makes him so unappealing to the voting mainstream? The congressman believes the very existence of the federal student-loan program is a "stage-three cancer of socialism." He's also eager to eliminate the minimum wage, believes liberalism is based on "a hatred of God," believes the Bible should be a "blueprint" for American government; and wants to impeach President Obama because, in his mind, the president is "a complete menace to our civilization."
Perhaps my favorite Akin moment was the time in which he screwed up the Pledge of Allegiance at a Tea Party rally, because he was a little too eager to, in his words, "drive liberals crazy."
