It's a perfect illustration of the stupidity of Huckabee. He shouldn't touch Duggar or Akin with a 10-foot pole. AND ... it was NOT Akin vs. the GOP'E'. There were better conservatives than him in the primary. Here's a conservative, unlike Huckabee, who had a better idea than going forward with the loser Akin in the all important MO Senate race ....
Sarah Palin endorses third-party run if Akin won’t drop out
We have Claire McCaskill in the Senate because of Clod Akin's ego and Mike Huckabee's stupid political instincts.
Whether or not Todd Akin was the most conservative primary candidate is a matter of conjecture. What is NOT a matter of conjecture is that GOPe Grand Poobah Karl Rove trashed Todd Akin on national television and sandbagged his campaign. Todd Akin was leading in the polls until Rove opened his fat mouth.
Numerous conservative candidates (Sarah, Christine O’Donnnell, Sharon Angle, Chris McDaniel, Richard Mourdock to name just a few) get trashed high and low and left and right BY FELLOW REPUBLICANS! Meanwhile Rove and the GOPe select plenty of moderate “electable” candidates who go on to lose “graciously”. These are the same voices who are leading the smears against Ted.
Mike Huckabee stood up for Todd Akin and conservative principles, and he should be proud.
