The Huckster thinks Todd Akin is a moderate?
Maybe there are not evangelicals in Missouri to make a difference...
We lost that seat because of Huckabee. He was the one that supported Akin from beginning to end. When the Democrats were spending a couple million dollars to help nominate Akin, it should have been obvious to the Huckster and everyone else that Akin was a terribly flawed candidate for a statewide office. When Akin, predictably, blew up his campaign with stupid comments about rape, Huckabee kept supporting him and encouraged him not to drop out. The result, McCaskill crushed Todd Akin by 15 points. It wasn't even close, yet the Huckster was telling social conservatives Akin could win - and many believed him.
When Huckabee’s name comes up what I think of first are all those who lost their lives because he was clemency happy as Governor.
Akin isn’t? What is he radical about?
