Without big donors, Akin seeks small handouts Abandoned by deep-pocketed national groups, Missouri Rep.

Todd Akin's Perfectly Rational Strategy Todd Akin must be nuts to still be in the Missouri Senate race after all those Republicans said mean things about him, right? He must be doing this out of spite, or the belief that God wants him to be senator? Actually, no. Though Akin appears to be easily fooled by fake science, he is acting perfectly rationally. What would he gain by dropping out?
