re: #492 Cannadian Club Akbar

Couldn’t he lie and say health reasons? Family business? Whatever?

Sure, but after the public orgy of begging and pleading from the GOP to get him to quit and his defiance at every step, it would be hard to make a convincing case that he’s got some major reason why he can’t run.

Hell, they couldn’t even get Mel Carnahan off the ballot and he died during the campaign. I don’t think Akin has much of a way out at this point.
