The fact that Claire wants to run against him is only because she can pound away at his ill-conceived statement and use it to her advantage.
Not sure what Akin’s history is for making stupid comments or his odd behavior. I would think something would have come to light by now.
Do you have anything that I can research?
thanks
I just read yesterday that Claire was not making a big deal about his comment, on purpose, so as to not chase him from the race. However, as soon as his candidacy was etched in stone, last night, she rolled out ads focusing on his infamous statement. So after she spends millions beating him over the head, how many people will actually vote for him?
For people to vote for the challenger, they have to be credible. Will the voters find him credible in six weeks? We will find out.
