I don't think it will happen, but I'll laugh if Akin actually manages to pull this off. In a night that will likely spur a huge wave of Republican shock and anger, Akin winning would ensure that the Dems get to join in the fun. Great entertainment.
This would pretty much be a prime example of how partisan America is. How the hell can he be running this well with 29% favorables? Easy. He's not a Democrat. I wonder if this might coin a new phrase, "The Akin effect," in which you tell the pollster you are undecided or voting for the other candidate, as you are ashamed of your candidate, only to sneak into the voting booth and pull the lever for your secret candidate.
