A new poll shows that support for Rep. Todd Akin’s (R-Mo.) Senate candidacy has sharply declined since he remarked in an interview broadcast Sunday that “legitimate rape” rarely causes pregnancy.

I find a lot of the coverage about the falling support for Akin...well, dubious. Yes, people I talk to think he a dumb-a$$. Not a single one has said that they’ed pull the lever for McCaskill, or sit out the election, though.
Anecdotal, for sure; still, there it is.

They haven’t even started running the ads yet. Neither have the Dems really. Akin's given them all the ammunition McCaskill needs.

Todd Akin is like Charlie Crist - a selfish opportunist who doesn’t care if the GOP loses.
