Big question: Will the GOP be smart enough to learn from 2012 and not drudge up another frickin Akin.

Anyone running against that witch seriously needs a “MSM 101” class from the school of Brietbart.

Akin was stubborn like a bulldog and wouldn’t fess up when he screwed up on his rape comments (you can sort of lump Murdoch into this as well...dang he could of won that race in Indiana if he just learned to shut up on sucker debate questions....but that’s another screed for another time).

Akin bought into the PPP lie showing him 9 pts ahead but once the date to leave the race past, PPP sucker punched him showing a 10 pt deficit. Pride goeth before the fall.

To rub salt into the wound McCaskill was losing to ALL of the GOP primary candidates....ALL OF THEM and by double digits to boot.

So yeah, this lady can be defeated so long as the GOP doesn’t get stupid (I know that’s asking a lot). With Trump’s influence, it’s probably even easier.

This was exactly Akin’s problem, in my opinion. Didn’t think he could fail.
