No, what Todd Akin did was outrageous and his refusal to get out of the race was outrageous allowing a media firestorm to reverse the momentum we had been gaining going into our convention. The damage that caused is detrimental. Akin was McCaskill’s and the Democrat party’s hand picked candidate to be her opponent - apparently with good reason.
The NRSC and other party organizations already had announced they would not recognize or associate with that campaign given the politically toxic remarks - now you are surprised they are in fact not recognizing the campaign? Sarah Palin, Allen West, etc. all called on him to drop out as well.
The NRSC and especially Sarah Palin and Allen West should know better. They basically ran a fully loaded fuel truck into a burning building by their remarks. The flames were going out and Akin was gaining in the polls. Even overtaking McCaskill. Now, we start getting this stupid circular firing squad started up again by the NRSC playing their childish games.
This is beyond belief!!!
