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.
But the Moonbat McCaskill does not say that anywhere in her ads or does the narrator say that targeting Akin. The truth is that OBot McCaskill hoped anyone of the R primary candidates would say something that could be portrayed as a voter turn off. She had no crystal ball.
The ads say "Akin is too conservative for Missouri."
Sounds like a guy to support.
