Here is what I don’t understand if they didn’t like McCaskill before and they were going to vote for Akin
why would they vote for her now. I know if it was me even if I thought his words were harsh or stupid I would not vote for the other candidate especially if she was in the party opposite to my values.
Probably because there were hopes that he wasn't as stupid as McCaskill, but when he opened up his mouth, he removed all doubt, that he was as dumb as McCaskill.
What's that saying better to vote for devil that you know, than the devil you don't.
Plus his hubris doesn't help, and hasn't it been odd that Akin has been attacking the Republican "establishment" rather than McCaskill.
