It is becoming easy to see how the “Akin effect” has faded; just look at warren now down 6 vs Brown in Mass. with a sample of 55% Democrats.
You don’t think democrats are 55% in Mass.?
Maybe this skewed polls stuff has gone a bridge too far.
“It is becoming easy to see how the “Akin effect” has faded; just look at warren now down 6 vs Brown in Mass. with a sample of 55% Democrats.”
The fading “Akin effect” is the result of other Republican candidates being able to politically disassociate themselves from the fallout, as a result of the party’s refusal to openly finance his campaign.
Liz Warren (from last night’s debate): “This really may be the race for control of the United States Senate, not just about Senator Brown’s vote — it’s about all the Republicans.”
If the GOP openly funds Akin, candidates such as Liawatha will produce more ads linking him to their Republican opponents, thus undermining female and independent support for Republicans in other close races.
