“Yes, Sarah Palin endorsed Sarah Steelman in that primary race instead of Akin. If Steelman had won the primary, she’d be SENATOR Steelman now helping out Ted Cruz.”
And also, with Steelman as the nominee in Missouri, there wouldn’t have been any silly rape question for either the Missouri nominee OR the Indiana nominee and SENATOR Mourdock would be helping Steelman and Cruz.
But we can argue about this stuff forever. The media with the help of the republican establishment will do whatever it takes to destroy conservatives. But moderates like McCain, Romney, Dole and the Bush family can come back over and over.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten that Mourdock became a “copy-cat” moron doing his version of Akin’s idiocy. I somehow think the Senate Conservatives Fund this cycle is doing some informal training (e.g., how not to fall for the media’s entrapment tricks and how to avoid sticking your foot in your mouth) of potential endorsees before formally endorsing them.
Bang on. I hope Missouri conservatives never make this mistake again. Akin was a deathtrap waiting to spring, which is why McCatskull funded him. I don’t have a doubt that had that whole ordeal not happened, Mourdock and Steelman would be senators.
