What funding is there to restore?
His biggest backer in the primary is still the funding party!!!
Yep. Makes a huge difference if the party rallies around him, forgives him, and sends out memos with a strategy to turn the negative around. Don't tell me you don't think that widespread public criticism and calls for him to drop out from his own party has a negative effect on his polls. Besides, he has 10 weeks to change the narrative and focus it back on McCaskill. His own party should be working this hard to run McCaskill's name through the mud. The Repug elites do a remarkable job of staging a coordinated, sustained attack on their own people. Be nice if just once we saw them campaign this hard against the Democrats. A massive blitz to show how McCaskill is far worse than Akin would have turned that poll around. There's still time.
The fact that he is only 10pts down is itself amazing.
