"This is not going in his favor," Palin said. "So you have to step aside ... from your self-desire to get in there and serve and do what you believe is right, and you have to, in a sense, take one for the team, and you have to step aside, hand the mantle to someone else."
She wanted him to step aside because she believed another in Missouri could take the reins from him and defeat McCaskill. Palin advocated Sarah Steelman ... makes sense as Steelman endorsed John McCain's 2000 presidential bid. In the primary Steelman acquired 29% of the vote compared to Akins 36%. She wasn't even second runner up as Brunner took 30% of the vote. Mitt Romney was a 3rd place finisher on his first presidential bid -- how did that turn out for him next time around? Steelman did not stand a chance. Akin was the only candidate in position -- and he would have been a reliably Constitutional conservative voter. The GOP-E and Republican lemmings screwed the pooch and we lost a Senate seat.
True.

True, Palin and the tea parties opposed the nut case, and sure enough, he blew the election and cost us the seat.
Akin clearly couldn’t win the general election.
