I'm actually from the St. Louis area, so I've been hearing McCaskill/GOP attack ads for quite some time now. Akin seems to be about as good at gaffes as our dear vice president, at one point likening college scholarships to "stage three cancer of socialism," if I remember correctly. I'm on the wrong side of the river to vote in his election, but it will be interesting to see just how far he pushes it, since the party has said he'd give up the goat, but he said he'd keep going (from what I last heard, earlier this evening, so that could've changed already).
