And why is that a surprise? Politics is a blood sport. One has to play to win. One has to be competent and shrewd and smart. Akin is none of those and will lose by 10 points in November, and will become a laughing stock and pariah the rest of his life.
Joe Miller in AK; Hoffman in NY-23; Sharron Angle in NV;
Christine O’Donell in DE; Buck in CO; JD Hayworth in AZ and
George Allen in VA were all solid conservatives but lousy politicians and they all lost and now are powerless.
George Allen is going to win his seat back here in VA.
