Akin Risks Losing 3rd Party Ad Buys If He Stays in Senate Race

Crossroads Grassroots Political Strategies says it’s pulled all of its ads in Missouri’s U.S. Senate race, and American Crossroads says it may do the same if Cong. Todd Akin doesn’t drop out of he race. Both groups have been running ads critical of Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill. The National Republican Senatorial Committee says it will not spend $5-million it had promised on the race if Akin doesn’t drop out.
