What does that have to do with the point of discussion one way or the other?
To: Psalm 144
No, no...that is not what we were talking about. You indicated the RNC was responsible for the action of the Akin campaign...which was bogus.
To: Yashcheritsiy
Well I went the limit in 2008 for McCain.
Now I will never be rid of Republican beggars. They are tenacious as herpes.

No he did not. His comments do not address the question at all.
To: Republican Wildcat
And they did - big time. He was their choice to be the candidate - spending millions to assist him in winning the nomination, and McCaskill and company stood behind him to encourage him to stay in the race.
Sure, the democrats might have wanted Akin to stay in the race, and might even have "supported" him with money, but, only to attempt to highlight what they perceived as a big negative, but, it might be backfiring on them, since the polls indicate Akin taking the lead.
But, you conveniently skipped by my comments, which are about how the democrats would spin around their bad candidates and would still attempt to get them elected. To them, winning at any cost is what matters the most, and "supporting" Akin is proof of that.

Now I guess this latest flub (not nearly as serious, but it just compounds on top of everything else) of failing to pay for his TV ads based on your post is now also someone elses fault.You are quite naive if you think that KOMU is telling the truth here.
Ask anyone at a radio/tv station and they will tell you that NO political ad is ever run unless it is paid for in advance -- and that goes for everyone from dogcatcher to POTUS -- and includes KOMU.
So the claim that the Akin campaign owes KOMU anything is a blatant prefabrication. The station would not have run a campaign add unless they already had the money in house.

Missouri is OVER.
Akin’s ego has handed the race to McCaskill and the Democrats.
There are other places the that the money can be put to good use.

Let me draw a picture for you. The Akin campaign probably didn’t pay their bill on time because they are very tight on cash. They are tight on cash because they haven’t received the financial support fro the GOP-e.
Yes, the party of a candidates affiliation will normally send cash to the candidates campaign, for the candidate to spend as they see fit, i.e. ads, airplane charters for campaigning, etc.

Question too tough for you???
To: Yashcheritsiy
You know, you hit on something with ‘wormy’. In past cycles they seemed like real people. Volunteers, or regular people just passing the hat to help pay for the barbecue or whatever. Sometimes I’d give and sometimes I wouldn’t depending on the candidate and circumstances. This time there is a smug, crawling condescension I’ve never noticed before. Pipsqueak and and obsequious at the same time. Surly too, when their advances are rebuffed.

I guess those outside the area do not realize that Akin dropping out is a sure McCaskill win at this point. Roughly a quarter of the voters would not support a GOP-E appointed candidate, which is what would happen if Akin withdraws. There are a lot of hard feelings over Akin’s treatment. You can see some of the sentiment expressed on this thread where the GOP is blamed more than Akin.

Karl Rove took out Christine O’Donnell also.
That event opened my eyes to the GOP-e

At this point, the only ones losing this seat for the GOP is the GOP-E itself.You got that right.
To: doug from upland
Why havent Huckabee and the Akin supporters sent him enough money for ads? They just like to shoot off their mouths, but writing checks is a little more difficult.Great point!

It is even beyond arrogance. It is hubris. Maybe more people would have come back to him if he had not handed us that load of crap -- "It's not about me." Of course, it is about him. He worked hard to get his shot at a Senate seat. We would have understood if he just told the truth ---- "I have worked hard for 12 years to get here, given my best to the country and people of Missouri, and I'm not letting others push me out of a race I will win." Instead = "It's not about me." That makes him sound like Villaraigosa or Debbie Blabbermouth.

I still cannot believe that the Mo. voters would be so stupid as to return McCaskill back to the Senate. She has disrespected them so many times in the past. McCaskill had a chance to kill OC once and for all, and chose not too.
The very least Akin would do is help kill OC, and it is a dead ass cinch that McCaskill will not. That reason alone would be a good one to elect Akin.
As far as I can tell, McCaskill is luckier than a 3 peckered dog....benefiting from a perceived stupid statement.
She should not be winning, and I don't think that the voters of Mo will be taken in by her....(but on the other hand...I am often wrong and disappointed)..
