Missouri Congressman and health class dropout (and in my personal opinion tremendous idiot) Todd Akin skipped a planned interview on CNN’s Piers Morgan show.

Morgan responded by calling Akin a “gutless wonder” for skipping the interview. His no show has led to speculation that he may be on the verge of dropping out of the contest, a move that would please GOP leaders.

However my guess is that whether Akin stays in or drops out he’s handed this seat to the Democrats, though his departure could salvage the GOP prospects in other races.

And if he is going to hand a seat to the Democrats he made a pretty good choice as Senator Claire McCaskill is one of the more sensible members of that body.
