Wrong. That she wanted to run against Akin is true but to say that he played footsie with her is a lie. She ran campaign adds attacking all three candidates, including Akin, and criticizing him as "too conservative for Missouri". That commment encouraged conservatives undecided regarding the three running to vote for Akin -- but to go beyond that is a prefabrication unbecoming conservatives on this forum.
It’s a shame Akin caved to the left with unending apologies.
With due respect Chipper, you totally missed the psy ops part of the McCaskill campaign. Don't you get what she meant to accomplish by calling him "too conservative" in the middle of a GOP primary? Is this really hard to figure out? No, it's not....
He should have run for the House again and let the Conservatives fight it out.
