@RABEL222,
That's true...but barely. His unfavorable ratings amongst Dems and Indeps are very low and are only marginally positive with Repubs.
The establishment Repub party - which didn't support him in the primary - is pledging to not spend any money for his campaign. A big PAC, Crossroads GPS, also promises no support for Akin.
The 1st deadline for him to do something is about two hours away.
I half expected him to withdraw as the Repub and then to file as an Independent candidate if the rules allow that...just to rile the GOP.
