Yeah, the fact that he's held public office and has a conservative voting history had nothing whatsoever to do with people choosing him over the other two. It was all Democrat strategery that got him the win. Good luck with that ploy.

$1.5 million that the Dems spent to boost Akin was more than his entire underdog campaign. His conservative bona fides are flawless, but facts are facts.

Whoop-te-do! So what!?

How is he supposed to control what the Dems do?
He couldn't stop Dems from cross party voting in an open primary could he?

And what do you honestly think would have happened if he had asked or told McCaskill to stop funding such ads?
