I was referring to Romney.
I am completely aware of that. However, my argument has been for some time that the bottom line in this election is to make sure that conservatives win back the Senate and strengthen their hold on the House. Otherwise you have nothing to check Obama if he wins, and frankly nothing to force Romney to show some backbone if he wins.
So supporting Akin in this, in my opinion, is pretty much just like casting a vote for the flaming liberal with a "D" by his name.
