[E. Pluribus Unum]

I voted for Brunner and was pissed when Governor LearJet ran her ads during the primary dog-whistling the Democrats to cross over and vote for him, but Akin has demonstrated to me that he has a spine of steel, something people like Boner and McConnell have never heard of.

He can beat McCaskill. McCaskill is not his problem. His problem is that he has defied the GOPe (I'm looking at you, Tokyo Rove and Haley "Buy Your Pardon Here" Barbour) and they are out to destroy him, even if it means sacrificing the Missouri Senator seat.

Akin played footsie with the Democrats. Romney has always played footsie with the Democrats.

We really could do with different candidates and if we could get both out of there and replace them with people who don't play footsie with Democrats, I"d be fine with that.
