Well well well -- doesn't that comment say it all.
The GOPe would rather have Claire McCasket in that Senate seat than Todd Akin. He has finally admitted what conservatives in Missouri have suspected since this kerfuffel began.
I think you're misinterpreting - no GOP candidate wants to be forced to explain or defend what Akin said. If Missouri wants him to be elected, he will, despite the RNC.
Akin is fortuante to have such a dedicated group of supporters - hopefully, they can give him enough money to win.
