According to the conservative American Power blog, We have gotten word that even BIG-TIME Todd Akin endorser Dana Loesch has withdrawn her endorsement of Akin earlier this afternoon.
Unfortunately I can no longer go forward with confidence believing that Akin can win this race. #mosen

And the golden rule: as a GOP candidate, you DO NOT attack the ticket. Period, period, period, period, period. THE END.

Akin could have recovered from comment if not for two things: media handling post-flap & attacking ticket; GOP cannibalism.

I’m used to Republicans screwing us over. I’m not used to conservative candidates who know grassroots struggle doing it with lack of prep.

Akin’s comment wasn’t what did it. It was the inability to handle the media after & turning on the ticket that did it. Also party insanity.

However, on this afternoon’s edition of The Dana Show, she was singing a different tune, as Loesch was encouraging Akin to stay in the race and possibly win it for Team Elephant?
