Invoking the Gatekeeper - "Yog Sothoth!"

In her memoir published this summer, Claire McCaskill recounts for readers how she confounded political observers who assumed she would lose reelection to the U.S. Senate in right-of-center-leaning Missouri. In order to do that, she poured nearly $2 million of her campaign war chest into an ad blitz designed to elevate the most extreme, right wing candidate among the Republicans seeking to challenge her in the general election.
"I helped Todd Akin win -- so I could beat him later," she recalled.
He had little money to compete with his better-financed opponents in the Republican primary so McCaskill's effort would do what he could not -- introduce him to and define him for the extremely conservative voters expected to cast ballots in the primary.

Gray Davis did the same thing to get elected governor of California. It’s a big part of the reason that he was recalled. Perhaps we should have a mechanism for the recall of senators.
She didn’t beat Todd Akin he self destructed on some stupid comment about abortion and rape.

Ted Cruz vs. Obama for 30 minutes ... Two moderators, Stephanopolus and Mark Levin ... just to be fair ...
Ted Cruz wins the GOP nomination and November 2016 election.
That televised event is the equivalent of a $ 750 million ad campaign ...

Total, utter horsefeces.
Please don’t post pics of McCaskill either.
It is not possible for Bambi to “elevate” Cruz, except via his continued attacks.
So McCaskill admits that there is no way she could win against a strong conservative.
I would think she might find that embarrassing. Oh, I forgot, she’s a shameless liberal.
I think that's what they mean. And what's been going on already for a while.
Obama attacks Cruz. Cruz gets publicity. Cruz rises in the polls. Hillary thinks it will be easier to beat him.
Not exactly anything new.

PLEEEEEZ HILLARY, DON’T even think ABOUT GIVING Crazy Cruz $10 million. Pleeez spare us!
Obama is too much of a coward to do that.
I agree. (tee hee)
