How weird. Why does he need a press conference to say he’s staying in the race?
Something he has already said multiple times.
“Why does he need a press conference to say he’s staying in the race?”
Because he is desperate to raise campaign funds. He will spin that he is ahead of his fund raising goals because he raised a few bucks at that diehard evangelical meeting Wednesday without mentioning the RNC and Republican PACs pulled 10 million in proposed spending on him and further pulled GOTV efforts on his behalf. McCaskill has 12 million in the bank to batter this guy with ads and he will be lucky to raise enough to post a few ads in a pennysaver next to the supermarket coupons.
Akin isn't calling the press conference. It's his EGO that's calling it.
