Palin did speak against Todd Akin, but only in light of her opinion that another in Missouri could take the reins from him and defeat McCaskill. Boots on the ground in Missouri knew that was not going to happen -- not enough time and no strong contender. Akin was the only one in position with eyes on target -- he was the only opportunity for success. Mitt Romney and Karl Rove also spoke against Todd Akin. Do you really think they are on Team Barracuda? As for the Tea Party ... well I *am* tea party, and I would have happily voted for Akin.

False.
The tea parties and Palin opposed Akin in the primary, and then asked him to withdraw after he won it with his 36%.
Akin was another Bachmann/Huckabee mistake.

Palin said he should step down, along with michelle malkin and just about every other sane conservative, it wasn’t just the gope. He was an ego driven fool who lost an unlosable seat by a landslide.
