The U.S. Senate candidate's campaign also addresses reports about the Congressman's arrests in the 1980s at abortion protests.
On Saturday night, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin held what an aide said would likely be the campaign's last campaign rally in St. Louis prior to Tuesday's general election. At what his campaign described as a "Family Values Rally" at Westminster Christian Academy in Town and Country, Akin, currently the 2nd District U.S. Congressman from Wildwood, touched on familiar themes in his campaign against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO). Citing McCaskill's record supporting President Obama'a healthcare reform and the federal stimulus bill, among other areas, the Wildwood Republican called McCaskill Obama's "strong right arm" in front of an audience geared toward religious conservatives. Akin was introduced by former St. Charles County …

The latest Patch 'Blue Arch' survey took the pulse of Missouri Democrats following the party's convention in Charlotte.
More than a few political observers have noted in the 2012 election cycle that President Barack Obama's re-election campaign has failed to match the excitement brought on by the 2008 campaign.

Fifty-two people were surveyed and 27 people responded. Read Also: Post-Conventional Wisdom: Missouri GOP Activists Say They Have Momentum Fourteen point 8 percent of the panelists…

The latest 'Blue Arch' survey of activist Democrats asked respondents about the presidential race, the Akin-McCaskill U.S. Senate contest and what Democrats should do to counter a possible post-convention bounce for Mitt Romney.
If the election were held today, President Barack Obama would not carry the Show-Me State. That's the biggest finding in the latest Patch 'Blue Arch' survey of current and former Democratic party officials and activists, taken between August 27-30. Just over 50 people were surveyed and 31 responded using an automated survey tool. When asked, to describe their state of agreement with the question: If the election were held today, Barack Obama would carry the state of Missouri, 41.9 percent said they somewhat disagreed, while 22.6 completely disagreed. While some observers wondered if the fallout from GOP U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin's remarks about legitimate rape might help put Missouri back in play nationally, most polls show Mitt …
