Yes, that poll that was R+9 was garbage, and Akin seemed completely unaware of that until Hannity pointed it out to him.
But I think it’s clear now that Akin would stay in even if every poll showed him down by 20. So let’s hope for the best.
The thing is that the Left may have outsmarted themselves with that garbabe poll. The thing I learned about swing voters is that they are mostly weak-kneed and conservative-leaning. That poll let them feel that it was OK to go ahead and back Akin again.
