Short diary tonight. There was a debate tonight between Claire McCaskill and Todd Akin for her Senate seat in Missouri. Judging from what one of my Facebook friends said, Akin looked bad more than Claire looked good.
I might be updating this over the course of the evening. Here is what my friend said.
im gonna vote just to vote against that idiot...wow
My friend wasn't going to vote, but will now.
I am going to have to check on what was said, but it must have been a humdinger.
Well, that's another loss for Team Red.
Okay, everyone, let's bring this home and get the President and all of our incumbents (and a few challengers) back to the Senate and let's see if we can take the House back as well!
Update: I am in Missouri tonight for the worst of possible reasons: a funeral. I am talking to some folks here to gather a sense of what is going on. The consensus is that Akin is an idiot. People who I know are moderately conservative do NOT like this guy and will definitely vote for Claire McCaskill. She si also running very positive ads here. I just saw one that is very good and doesn't mention Akin at all. I have seen almost nothing in the way of publicity for Akin. I have only seen one lawn sign. Seriously.
My location is Kansas City, which is pretty much a city split down the middle. The fact that Akin has absolutely no presence here is a good sign for Claire.
