Some of you go ahead and blame the GOP establishment if you like

I will.

If you live in the area, you saw the ads McCaskill had out there quoting all the GOP establishment types ranting on Akin. I think that ad did WAY more damage than anything Akin said. Their public statements were far more idiotic than anything Akin said, and they just kept doing it!

Also, the GOP refused to give him any money. (They may have kicked in a little toward the end, but no ads I saw gave them any "credit" at the end.) Okay, they were ticked because he didn't bow out. But get over it. What was more important - that he didn't do what they wanted, or that McCaskill get beaten. We have their answer.

That's the GOP establishment for you. Democrat lite.

YEP -- McCaskill saved her most effective commercial for last and that featured the words of McCain and Romney and Priebus attacking Akin for his views. McCaskill sends her thanks to the GOPe for her most effective political commercial.
