Got a Call from the Todd Akin Campaign

Deep man voice wanted to speak to the husband. Would not talk to me and my magical uterus.

By the power of Greyskull, I told him he had the wrong house.

Why are they campaigning / obviously cold calling to homes in Southeast Missouri? This puzzles me, unless they are just desperate for volume. I see very few McCaskill signs, but know a lot of people that plan to vote for her.

Just interesting, Akin will loose.

They're actually asking for the man of the house?

Hey Todd... the '50s called and they want their campaign back.

Yes, asked for my husband. Was not interested in my voice. Maybe because as a lady, I would just vote the same as the man of the house? (Hubs and I laughed over this.)

It's all good. Let 'em call, offend women and work to get Claire re-elected.

The best poll Akin has had lately has been the Mason-Dixon poll (surprise!) which put him down only 2 points.

Btw, Nate Silver gives McCaskill about a 90% chance of winning.

I've participated in two polls this year that specifically asked questions on the Senate race. The first was right before Akin stepped on his winky with the magical shut down remarks.

No woman here in Missouri, I've talked with, supports Todd Akin. None, nada.

Could be why the deep man voice didn't want to talk to me. lol.
