Nonsense. He was a bad candidate. Period. He was the worst of the 3 primary options - and it was no accident the Democrats saw the same and invested nearly 2 million bucks to make sure he got the nomination.

Akin was the only republican on the ballot. And republicans, perhaps such as yourself, simply preferred McCaskill. They act as though uppity conservatives need to "get their asses in line" (to borrow from Boehner) and tow the party line. Even today, you attack, ridicule, and misconstrue Akin's position even with the election long since done. You'd rather talk about the magic uterus meme Rove invented than simply recognize Akin was the only republican on the ballot. Sorry, but that ship has sailed. The uppity conservatives have figured out the GOPe does not have their back. McCain didn't win. Romney didn't win. The GOPe have autopsied themselves into thinking they have to be more like the democrats to win. They will pull the party in that direction. Your choice is simple ... do you join them, or not.

Actually, in Missouri both McCain and Romney won statewide. It was Akin that failed miserably at that.
