Akin Asks for Forgiveness Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) is out with a new ad this morning, signaling that he may not drop out of the race to unseat Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) despite pleas from his party to leave the race. New York Times: "Republican campaign officials said the coordinated effort to push Mr. Akin out of the race was in part a result of a tight deadline that the party faces. If Mr. Akin drops out by 5 p.m. Tuesday, the Missouri Republican central committee will be free to choose a replacement for the November ballot. He still could quit anytime before Sept. 25, but if he waits, his withdrawal could be challenged by the Missouri secretary of state, Robin Carnahan, a Democrat." We forgive you.
