10 Senate Candidates - Not 8

It's the top of the seventh— time to stretch click This ad, paid for by the American Conservatives Fund, is running on various websites, like Drudge.  For some reason they left Maine Republican Charles Summers out of the mix. The Maine seat is open because Vichy Republican Olympia Snowe is retiring, citing the Senate's "atmosphere of polarization."  Miss Snowe just wanted to be loved. That opened the door for former Gov. Angus King, who is running as an "independent." “ Mr. King stepped in and said he would run as an independent. But his record, and his announced intention of voting for President Obama, suggests a likely alliance with the Democrats. The nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report now puts Maine in the “leans Democratic” column. (NYT) ” Ahem. Akin was likely left out because this group probably has a bit too much Vichy-GOP DNA, and are spooked because the media piled on him for an ill considered comment, not even close in importance to Obama's "57 States,"  or any of a hundred others  Akin was ahead of Democrat incumbent McCaskill, and the race is still up in the air. That's a potential flip of eight senate seats for us, and that's what President Romney will need to outlaw the Democrat Party.  Right?
