Palin, like so many of us were pissed to no end that the Democrats knew something about this guy and mounted a campaign to have their voters cross over to insure he was their challenger instead of either Steelman or Brunner.

I didn't know that, FRiend. I knew McCaskill has made it clear she wants to continue to run against Akin -- not that he was a designated 'Rat fall guy.

And a Karl Rove potted plant to boot. Found that on a news show early yesterday morning. Hadn't heard it before, that Rove is Akin's money tree (so they said).

Reporters say a lot of things trying to stir the pot, the reality is McCaskill did mount a media campaign aimed specifically at getting conservatives to vote for Akin who was polling well behind Steelman and Brunner before election day ballots were counted. As McCaskill was essentially unopposed she was not worried about getting Democrats not in critical local elections to cross over and support his winning as well. It is a reality in open primary states.
