In a move that pretty much insures the re-election of Senator Claire McCaskill (D) , GOP Congressman Todd Akin announced today he will remain in the US Senate race despite his idiotic comments on rape and pregnancy.

Like many on both sides of the political fence, I cannot express how much his conduct and comments have revolted me and I will certainly do everything I can to aid in his defeat.

For the national GOP this is a bad bit of news as it not only costs them a possible Senate seat but quite possible the electoral votes of Missouri, a key to any chances of a Romney win.
