Newt Gingrich will be in St. Louis on Monday fundraising for Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, a source close to the former House speaker confirmed.
>snip<
“I think Todd Akin was the choice of the people in Missouri, and Todd Akin has publicly apologized,” Gingrich said. “I just think people ought to be a little cautious about saying the voters of Missouri don’t count.”
Rick Tyler, one of Gingrich’s longest serving aides and former member of Gingrich’s super PAC, “Winning Our Future,” is now working on Akin’s campaign.
Currently Akin is being outspent 10 to 1. One source told ABC News that Akin booked only $50,000 in TV advertisements for next week, with only one to two stations per market and no cable. In contrast, McCaskill is running $500,000 per week in both broadcast and cable.

I can imagine Akin going independent after kicking McCaskills arse.
Gingrich and Palin: working to get real conservatives elected to the senate.
Priebus and Cornyn: would be very happy with moderates or democrats getting elected.
Pleased to see Newt step up for a valuable conservative voice.
You forget Moderate Republican Rule 124: "If a Conservative is winning, find an excuse not to support him so you can be buddies with your friends across the aisle"
Or "Thou salt always work against the conservatives, even if it helps the democrats."
Priebus: GOP ‘Not Going to Play in MO with Todd Akin’ (No RNC Money for Akin)
Unfortunately, a few folks on FR seem to think he will petition the court. Sorry to disappoint them.
The Presidential ballots were certified on Sept. 17. The military overseas ballots shipped on the 22nd of Sept. And tomorrow the general absentee ballots are shipped.
So for all those in Rio Linda, or of similar mind-set...Todd Akin is the Republican Senatorial candidate from Missouri! Either vote for, and $upport him, or give Mother McCaskill SIX more years to implement the agenda of the Imposter from Mombasa...
More moderate rationalization.
It really doesn’t interest me.
YEP -- YEP -- YEP
Crazy Akin's supporters love PPP, the Dem pollster, for having McCaskill up only 1... in a poll nearly a month old that helped convince Akin to stay in just as it was designed to.
Gingrich - Doing the job the tepid GOP-E simply won’t do.
Are they memorized or just pre-programmed into your computer???
Do you chant those every morning during meetings with the boss???
Good for Newt!!!!
I love Newt.
Akin needed no convincing to “stay in.” He was anyway. Period...
No, what he said was stupid- to a liberal Journalist- but it was not WRONG (what he MEANT at least)
So... the GOP establishment needs to GROW SOME BALLS and start standing up to the libtard whorenalists.
RE:Your tagline...could not the same be applied to Akin vs. McCaskill?
