I suspect this is the real reason so many FReepers are having a hissy fit over Akin. . .because Sarah Palin endorsed Sarah Steelman.

What a stupid reason.

Exactly. I like Palin, but she did not influence my vote because I had already decided. Steelman wasn’t even on my list. There was no crossover to the R ballot in my county with a hotly contested democrat Sheriff race. Plenty of true conservatives voted for Akin, at least in the rural counties.
