Akin Wins in Missouri
Rep. Todd Akin wins a closely contested primary battle to face incumbent Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill. Interestingly, Akin serves in Jim Talent's old district. Talent narrowly won this Senate seat in 2002 only to lose it in 2006 to McCaskill. Since 1994, this Senate seat has switched hands every time there's been an election.
