Blunt’s support along with other conservatives will help Akin with his fellow conservatives, but I don’t think that he really needed much help in that camp. Where he is going to have trouble is with moderates, independent, women, and young people. McCaskill has plenty of money to persuade them from moving to Akin. That’s the problem with the line of reasoning that conservatives can elect Akin. Their support is essential but not sufficient. McCaskill knows this, the RNC knows this, the NRSC knows this. Akin supporters will figure in out in November.
“Akin supporters will figure in out in November.”
It’d be nice if they would - but don’t count on it.
