“ObamacScare” drama?
Aren’t you saying that if Akin doesn’t drop out, preservation of ObamaCare will be on Akin’s head? None of the other players behind the Louisiana Purchase and the Cornhusker Kickback who finally endorsed it—or Chief Justice Alito for denying the challenge to it—are to blame?
As for Bush, he ran a lousy campaign and lost votes to Perot over the Read My Lips pledge. It was his election to lose and he gave it away. Yet Perot was scapegoated for it. As part of the GOPe, Bush could pull off that hat trick among the Party gullible. Were he a genuine conservative, he would have been excoriated for all time.
Likewise, because he’s a conservative, Akin will be blamed for plenty of things he had no influence or control over in November.
