This is starting to look very convenient. Without delving too much into conspiracy theory, a republican candidate is funded by the democrats in a three way race, succeeds and then makes a unbelievably stupid statement two days before a withdrawal deadline which is allowed to pass by the candidate. Then the poll number switch to Obama. These are machinations typical of the likes of Shumer, Reid and Obama.
Akin may be being paid off.
You know what's really sad about all of this?
The non-thinking tribalism of so many conservatives because Akin is "one of us." Reminds me of the way the Democrats deal with Joe Biden.
Here you have a guy who was the favourite candidate of the Democrats, who still want him in the race, and who actually gave lots of money to his campaign back in the primary - and FReepers are supporting him.
Why are FReepers supporting the same guy that Claire McCaskill supports?
wouldn’t be the first time the Dems have put one of theirs into an election pretending to be a republican.
Hell they even tried to set up tea parties
