The tea party and Palin were against Todd Akin.

He is a vain egotist.

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.
