No, he didn't count on dems to win. Missouri has an open primary balloting system. Dems can pick up a Republican ballot and vote for who they think is the weakest candidate they're told to vote for. If you were a Missouri resident and saw the deceptive McCaskill ads she was sending out, you would know what I'm saying. That is only one of the ways the dems work to steal elections in Missouri. But, I still believe Akin will beat her come November. McCaskill is so despised by the way she gave Obama his Obamacare bill and sold her soul to him in so many more ways, she will lose. And no, Akin is not a total idiot. Obama is a total idiot and the greatest threat to this nation. All this circle firing squad by some FReepers needs to be cooled down. Party infighting will only bring defeat.
I'm not convinced Mr. Akin is a TOTAL idiot. He has acted like an idiot lately. It is impossible to defend what he has done recently. But maybe he will improve.
Akin is a conservative. McCaskill is a very weak candidate. Hopefully Mr. Akin will win.
The Democrats worked to support Akin in primary. The Republicans are working to defeat Akin in the general election. Wouldn't it be ironic if he won.
