McCaskill has not even begun her attack on Akin, and judging by how he handled a mistake of his own making, the potential for disaster is hard to underestimate when McCaskill starts unleashing her oppo research library of unknown Akinisms. McCaskill chose him as an opponent because of his vulnerability. The potential for damaging fallout that affects other candidates is significant.

Love him or hate him, Romney is a known quantity. At this point, he's a pretty smooth campaigner.

Romney's campaign sucks. It was going absolutely nowhere until he put Ryan on board, and that excitement has fizzled out. Romney's behind in the polls even in a bad economy. His selfish decision not to release his taxes is cited in polls as being one of the main reasons people don't like him. The real drag on this election is Mitt Romney.

Has nothing to do with my main point. The same attacks will fly at Romney. Yet you will support him to the political death.

Double standard.

Chose him how? Does this McCaskill campaign ad aimed at Akin look like she selected him?

Or how about this one.

This accusation that McCaskill picked Akin is nonsense. She had campaign ads against all three. And she attacked Akin for being a conservative. You have to be some sort of conspiracy nut to believe that she was helping Akin. She may have seen him as the weakest candidate because of his strong conservative views.
