It's an honest answer because he opposed it but was lobbied hard by Bush and Rove who demanded he vote for it for the sake of the party and the country.
So then is it a good thing or a bad thing for Akin to now listen to Karl Rove and do what he wants allegedly for the sake of the party and the country???
I don’t care about what Rove thinks. Akin should have gotten out at the first. Not because he misspoke. But because he revealed himself (and his team) as woefully incompetent. I’m sure Mrs. Akin nixed any possibility of that.
Now that he’s in, it’s incumbent upon us to put McCaskill into retirement. And when he loses by double digits on election night, I trust you’ll beat your chest because you stayed true to principles.
