Akin was my pick in that primary. A FRiend was warning he was not ready for prime time. I argued about him with it “why isn’t Akin a first tier candidate?” but he turned out to be right.
He flat out cost us a seat by refusing to quit after he was no longer viable (the reason why he couldn’t win is irrelevant, he couldn’t win so he should’ve quit, he could have had a future, now his career is an elected official is over)
Those of in the know warned about Angle because of her history of losing races. Like when she lost a GOP House primary and whined for a re-vote (not a recount). Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkainian would be in the Senate right now. But Angle conned enough people for her to win the primary.
Mourdock is different cause he was running against an elderly RINO incumbent and as a twice elected State Treasurer who would have thought he’d run such a lousy race? Very disappointing.
he was no longer viable because the Vichy GOPe joined the leftwing media against him.
I seriously have nothing but pure disdain for the Vichy GOPe at this point.
