“The National Republican Senatorial Committee omitted Todd Akins name from their map and shows McCaskill running unopposed in Missouri!!!!!!!!!! are they trying to throw the election? Cornyn heads up the committee and I have called his office and emailed him. Outrageous!”
Two years ago Cornball came out for SunTan Charlie Crist over Rubio in the Florida primary. I’ve got my differences with Rubio, but obviously if the NRSC was going to get involved in a primary at all (which they shouldn’t do), backing Crist over Rubio shows that they do not see electing conservatives as part of their core mission.
Since Akin as a congressman voted against some of the Republican backed statist programs like MediPill, he obviously would not fit in well with the mainstay of the GOP: Lamar Alexander, Olympia Snowe, Lindsey Graham, etc. Akin would be as unwelcome in their circle as Sarah Palin.
Actually they actively recruited Crist to get into the race - as the sitting popular governor I guess that made sense at the time. I seriously doubt at this point they are unhappy with the fact Rubio ended up besting him...not only because of Crist’s behavior since then but also Rubio is a much better asset to the party than Crist could have been had he not become a turncoat.
