On a related note; Akin can't fight McCaskill or reshape his image if the GOP continues to deny him funds and threaten those who help him. I'm not so sure now that the GOP-E wanted McCaskill to lose her seat in the first place. Is she a reliable cross-over vote for RINOs like McLame?
There was a move in Missouri by the retired and never heard from until election time Senator John Danforth et al to slip their favored beholden to them candidate into the Senate race as late as March of this year despite the money and time that all the other three had spent on the campaign. Steelman, Akin, and Brunner were unacceptable to him and them.
And now we have this hystrionic contrivance.
It is highly possible that no matter who would have won the primary, this would be happening to them as well.
