Blame the Hannity, Coulter, Malkin, etc. circular firing squad.

If the conservative media/pundits even were responsible for as much as 1 point of the deficit I'd be surprised.

Of course they are. The won't let the issue alone and it's conservatives who would be voting for this guy.

If I were him, I'd run against the whole stinkin' DC apparatus at this point. Make a strong statement about his pro-life bona fides and trash these carpetbagger media and GOP party hacks who think they can come into MO and tell the voters there what to do and who their candidate should be.

The media is hanging on his every word at this point. He should make the most of it.
