Todd Akin: Constituents Who Want My Attention Should ‘Write Me A Decent Check’

[Sherman A1]

Rep. Todd Akin’s (R-MO) Senate campaign has struggled to rebound after his claim that women could not get pregnant from “legitimate rape” led to a drop in fundraising and GOP establishment support. A new recording released by his opponent, Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), won’t do much to help him. In the recording, taken in May, Akin suggests that the best way to get his attention is to make a donation to his campaign.

1. Sounds like the idiot I heard at the Debate Sunday.

Was in the car, happy C-SPAN radio reran the debate. He REALLY is a fool, and McCaskill is so forthcoming and informed.
BEST of luck to Missouri and us all!

2. He is indeed a fool, but I believe he is correct in his

opinion that the money will come back to him, if only to try & grab control of the Senate.

3. It has come back to him.

The GOP has now issued their support of his run and will give money for his campaign.
