You stepped RIGHT IN IT with the Akin comment….sooooo predictable. Six term congressman, part of estab, and supported by McCaskills campaign in open primary to DEFEAT two outstanding tea party type candidates…both of whom would have destroyed Claire.
Precisely. Claire was running ads in the primary touting Akin as the “true” conservative. And when you’ve got both Palin and Allen West telling you to get out of the race, you’ve lost any and all “tea party” bonafides you may have tried to lay claim to.
