McCrapskull helped Akin in the GOP primary? He was my choice to win that, I should have listened to Clintonfatigued (whom I guess still hasn’t gotten a new computer).
It was one of those, “Be careful what you wish for...” things. Had Akin not sabotaged himself, he came out of that primary with a wide lead for the general. McCaskill bet on the right horse to assure a win, but for the wrong reasons (she thought he’d be too Conservative, which he wasn’t, it was his ill-chosen words on rape).
Grayson took a similar tack, helping said White guy as being “more Conservative” than the Hispanic for the primary (as the Hispanic would have a better shot with the base voters of Grayson’s). It worked.
