Akin was a product of his own overinflated ego and was supported by people who have no clue about how to gain and exercise political power. This was not a battle of political ideology, but one of the realities of electoral politics. Akin was a decent guy who was dumb as a box of rocks when it came to political savvy and his supporters, many of whom were Freepers, were even worse. He will forever be the poster child for why the Republicans do not control the Senate.
Typical RINO whining.
