This entire Senate campaign has been a comedy of errors and incompetence by the Republicans. Claire McCaskill is an extremely weak candidate almost certain to lose. The Democrats determined that Mr. Akin was the weakest Republican candidate and helped him win a close three way primary. After Mr. Akin won, the Democrats then worked with the MSM to undermine Mr. Akin. It wasn't difficult.
The Republican establishment then went what I can only describe as insane and attacked and attempted to destroy their own candidate. They took a narrative that could have been diffused and turned it into a huge story. They refused funding for Mr. Akin.
The Democrats are now laughing their butts off. I'm sure even they can't believe the Republicans could be so stupid. A certain loss has been turned into a likely victory.
I think if conservatives work hard and support Mr. Akin he can still win despite all this. McCaskill is an extremely weak candidate. But it will not be easy.
If I recall correctly, it was in the open preliminaries that the REPUBLICANS were told to vote democrat to get rid of Hillary. The Hillary express by sorry hannity. So until the ridiculous open primary laws are changed, games will be played and the whole nation loses.
