"Also, it’s very interesting that Claire McCaskill is essentially running favorable ads for Akin."

I saw that ad - it definitely made Akin sound good to me. Who is Claire trying to scare?

Claire's ad "against" Todd Akin is awesome - the best ad in support of his candidacy that I have seen! :)

IMO, Claire believes Todd would be easiest for her to beat based on primary polls taken between Akin, Brunner, and Steelman. All three beat McCaskill, with Todd having the smallest edge. What Claire forgets, however, is that the majority of Republican primary voters will support whichever person wins today - giving that person a CLEAR majority against McCaskill.

I hope Todd Akin wins, but will support any of them against Claire McCaskill.
