Missourians must be ticked off that Romney and the Republicans abandoned Akin in his hour of need and tried to disenfranchise the primary voters by forcing him to step down.

I'm sure that is part of it.

MNJohnnie proved it above. The internals show the only support Romney lost in the poll was from Republicans. His support among Dems and Independents did not change.

If that is the case then the GOP better call off the dogs before it gets worse.

I don't suppose this had anything to do with that.

"There were talking point memos sent from the National Republican Senatorial Committee suggesting language to urge Akin to drop out. Political consultants were ordered to stay away from Akin or lose future business with GOP committees. Operatives were recruited to set up a network of pastors to call Akin to urge him to get out. Money has changed hands to push him off the plank."
