You really think Akin had anything to do with those political McCaskill political ads?
And it's up to 2M instead of 1.5M? It was a desperate move by McCaskill who was losing by double digits in the polls. So she makes these political ads who she thought was the most conservative to coax her base from smoking dope to come out and vote and support her cause. Akin misspoke has nothing to do with McCaskill political ads. Unless you actually saw McCaskill pulling puppet strings attached to Akin's mouth to form and say the wrong words. No - that nutso.
Who that nutso? LOL!
By the way, I said nothing about McCaskill pulling anyone's strings. Just pointing out a curious fact. And IF McCaskill defeats him, she will be lionised by the Dems as the savior of their Senate majority and Obamacare. (Pretty nifty return on her investment.)
If she wanted to bring out her base, she would have run the ads in the general election. She ran them in the primary, because she wanted to run against Akin rather than the other two Republican contenders, because she believed Akin would say something that would turn off the independent voters. She was right.
