Akin can win this thing, but he’s going to have to do this with his supporters.

Maybe Akin supporters in Missouri and across the country will say the same thing to all of Rove's and the NRSC's chosen candidates. It works both ways.

I agree with you. This is not unusual. The various factions within the GOP tend, first, to support their winners of primaries; and, second, other candidates that are acceptable to them who have the best chance of winning. Rove was in he second category with regard to Akin prior to the gaffe. Now that Rove has withdrawn support for Akin, it is imperative for Akin’s faction of the Republican Party to belly up to the bar. The way Rove sees it, less money for Akin means more money for George Allen or for Josh Mandel.
