Will Akin "out conservative" all of them?

In the crowded GOP primary scrum for Kit Bond's senate seat, one likely dynamic will be every contender trying to "out conservative" the competition.

One guy who may be able to rightly claim that mantle and out-flank the competition is 2nd district Congressman Todd Akin.
