I didn’t “favor” Akin, I viscerally disliked the establishment’s and FR’s treatment of “one of their own”. He wasn’t bad on the issues, pretty good conservative values and all.
Sure, he made a mistake in going down the rabbit hole, but I still believe to this day that mistake could have been overcome if the GOP had rallied to his support.
And instead, history repeats...a vile effigy of a woman sits in what was once his seat...thanks to the GOP-e and cowards.
So are most Freepers, but it doesn't make them Senate material. Akin was not, and never will be, and never has been, Senate material. He should've stayed as easy re elect Congressman in that tiny back water district he was from...and let one of two great candidates beat Claire.

Exactly.
Politics ain't beanbag.
Dems say stupid things all the time, but the Dems never break ranks--even when a President gets serviced by an intern in the Oval Office and suborns perjury.
The story is MacCaskill bragging about her duplicity and her manipulation as an accomplishment, while the GOP-E stands around and wonders WTH happened.
