Interestingly enough, the moderate rumor there is also that he was hand picked by democrats.
Here in my area...the notorious Alan Grayson (yes that Alan Grayson) ran ads against a Hispanic GOP candidate running in the GOP primary...because he knew he could not beat a Hispanic in a district 40% Hispanic.
Dems are doing this all over...it is not just McCaskill
The critics of Akin are just helping McCaskill...as they critcize this so-called “McCaskill support” of Akin.
And, many of the GOP Liberals against Akin are upset that the Sarah Palin-picked candidate finished third...and did not even get 1/3 of the primary vote...and that is the candidate the GOP Liberals want to run against McCaskill...
People need to accept the fact that Sarah Palin is a mere mortal and not everyone she endorses deserves to win.
In 2010 she endorsed Brian Rooney (brother of Tom Rooney) here in Michigan. Rooney was the candidate backed by the establishment and even moved here just a few days before filing paperwork. I backed our defeated former congressman and he won both primary and general election. This year the democrats aren’t even putting up much of a fight. I’m not mad about Palin endorsing the guy, its what politicians do but I’m not going to agree all the time.
I like Sarah Palin just fine but its her supporters who are rabidly out of control. I personally think she’ll never run for president because she knows she could never live up to expectations others have put on her.
I have what is essentially the same complaint with both the people I mentioned.
Then, too, they are insufficiently Conservative!
