How has Akin morphed into “THE TEA PARTY CANDIDATE”?
“Missouri, a bastion of the tea-party movement, has been shifting right in recent elections. The Tea Party Express and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin endorsed former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman in the GOP primary. Self-financing businessman John Brunner had the backing of FreedomWorks, a national tea party umbrella group.”
Good point.
Sort of raises the question, yet, again, of “how and why did Akin win the primary” when clearly he should not have.
Regardless of how one labels him, he wasn’t ready.
And we need to remember that, as we move forward.....
