Akin was quoted recently as stating his candidacy is “providential.” Well, if handing the Senate seat on a silver platter to Claire McCaskill and thus drowning any chance of booting Harry Reid back to minority status is “God`s will,” his concept of God is rather different than mine.
The idiot thinks he can win despite no funding, no resources and no infrastructure against a rejuvenated democrat incumbent whose campaign operatives toys with him like a cat plays with a mouse before devouring it. He even cites that laughable PPP “poll” that sampled R+9 to get him to +1 as rationale for continuing.
Hard-headed, self-serving a-hole.
...perhaps his plan all along?
Hard-headed, self-serving a-hole. I will take 535 of them. Look at this list of his votes. You guys are absolutely crazy if you want him gone.
