A new poll shows that support for Rep. Todd Akin’s (R-Mo.) Senate candidacy has sharply declined since he remarked in an interview broadcast Sunday that “legitimate rape” rarely causes pregnancy. Akin now trails Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) 50 percent to 41 percent in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch/News 4 poll, which showed him leading the Democrat by 5 points in late July...

I’m guessing there’s a reason why McCaskill tried so hard to get this Akin guy nominated for the GOP.

I find a lot of the coverage about the falling support for Akin...well, dubious. Yes, people I talk to think he a dumb-a$$. Not a single one has said that they’ed pull the lever for McCaskill, or sit out the election, though.

Anecdotal, for sure; still, there it is.

Neither have the Dems really. Akin's given them all the ammunition McCaskill needs.

Todd Akin is like Charlie Crist - a selfish opportunist who doesn’t care if the GOP loses.
