Well, the Dems, specifically McCaskill, are giving "aid and comfort" to Akin in the form of nearly $2M. Best case scenario: a wash. (Which means McCaskill wins, 'cause you know what happens when it's close in a state run by a Dem SOS.)
You really think Akin had anything to do with those political McCaskill political ads?
And it's up to 2M instead of 1.5M? It was a desperate move by McCaskill who was losing by double digits in the polls. So she makes these political ads who she thought was the most conservative to coax her base from smoking dope to come out and vote and support her cause. Akin misspoke has nothing to do with McCaskill political ads. Unless you actually saw McCaskill pulling puppet strings attached to Akin's mouth to form and say the wrong words. No - that nutso.
