“As a 12 term congressman he has a 97% ACU rating as of 2011. The highest in Congress I think.”

Yup, he’s a strong conservative. This is why other conservatives and Republicans were so quick to make a big deal out of Akin’s dumb comments: They didn’t want his blunder to be seen as representative of *all of us*. Democrats are eager to paint all Republicans as medically ignorant and insensitive about rape, so Democrats want Akin to stay in, as a poster boy for right-wing Bidenisms, and Missouri Republicans want Akin out.

Wrong. He's got tons of conservative backers, especially Christian conservatives. But they aren't any RINOs and liberals like Scott Brown backing him.

Missouri Republicans are running away from Mitt Romney more than they are from Todd Akin. They're disgusted with the way the national party has treated their Senate nominee.
