Here's a guy that is so unpopular but is consistently narrowing the gap. This comes down to whether or not Republicans return home. If the Libertarian gets half of what he's polling at, Akin probably takes it.
Yep. Akin is only getting 79% of Republicans. If he can get that up to 89% on election day, PPP says he'll win.
Yeah, it's going down to the wire here. It may actually turn out to be the nation's closest Senate race.
Everything he does and says in the last 48 hours, should be that clip or comment from Reid about blocking Romney's agenda. This state is going to vote for Romney by near or above 10% and so if he wants to win, he has to tie himself to Romney and paint Claire as a Reid mininion voting for everything you hate and against everything you want.
I still think he will fall short, but there is a path there in the various ways that I have stated including, and contrary to JJ's rules (Screw the rules...
), this is one state where there would likely be an embarrasment factor that shows up in the polls but not at the voting booth. How big that is, would be a key variable as to whether this is possible.
I actually think NV and MT might be closer still.
