QUOTE: "Most East Coast journalists and politicos I've spoken with cannot fathom how Todd Akin could possibly remain a candidate" in Missouri's U.S. Senate race, says former Missouri lawmaker Jeffrey Smith at Salon. After all, every Republican official from presidential aspirant Mitt Romney on down has urged him to drop out following his infamous comments about the pregnancy-stifling powers of "legitimate rape."

Here, six reasons Akin is still in the race after Tuesday's deadline to withdraw without court permission — and why he may well be in it for the long haul:UNQUOTE.
