Todd Akin was shot down by Rove. Todd Akin had the audacity to defeat Rove’s favorite in the primary. One instant of inarticulateness and Rove goes on nationwide TV and announces he will no longer support Akin. Rove, for all intents and purposes, endorsed McCaskill. Up until that point (Rove’s endorsement of McCaskill) Todd Akin was leading in the polls.
The GOPe will seek to sabotage genuine conservatives every chance they can. Democrats on the other hand always stand by their own.
I live here, I saw what happened. Akin should have never talked to Jaco.
