I’m glad Akin hasn’t backed down. If he can win this without establishment backing (actually, in spite of their opposition), McConnell will find it pretty hard to squeeze a big government vote out of this guy. He was already willing to buck party leadership. Imagine what he would tell them after defeating ObamaClaire while the Republican party boys were badmouthing him.
Okay the DROP DEAD DATE has passed, and he’s apologized for his words. Now we know he’s not dropping out, and he said what he said and apologized, can we NOW get some reporter to write a report about Todd Akin without regurgitating how he didn’t drop out, and that he said something stupid a month ago?
The meme was good for Claire McCatkill, but it’s ridiculous to keep saying it over and over and over and over. C’mon media, report on Claire’s stupidity for a week or two. Let’s get this poll tied and down to the wire for maximum effect.
