That sounds like one of those nonsense memes that people keep repeating because it helps their cause despite them having no evidence to support it.
The two conservative candidates split the Republican vote and Akins won a narrow victory by getting Democrats and to vote in the Republican primary.
Akin is STAUNCHLY CONSERVATIVE with a far more conservative voting record than Romney or Ryan. He voted against sequestration defense spending cuts and against No Child Left Behind to name a few Ryan was wrong on. As for Democrats voting in the Republican primary, show me the evidence of that. That kind of silliness is often talked about, but rarely if ever has been proven to happen in big enough numbers to affect an election. In this case it would also assume that Akin was seen as a bad candidate by many people, even though he won 6 consecutive house terms. That doesn't even pass the smell test. So enough of compiling this unsubstantiated conjecture to try and bolster your case.
If Mr. Akin is such a strong candidate why is he trailing Claire McCaskill by 10 points. Are you saying it is because she is a super strong candidate that no conservative could possibly defeat?
Why are the Democrats all trying to keep Mr. Akins from dropping out of the race if they don't support him? That makes no sense. I never said Mr. Akins was not a conservative. I said he is probably not intelligent enough to win against a very weak candidate.
