Missouri Is Akin Today, ctd.

Watch as conservatives, desperate to have a chance at a Senate majority, return to the Akin fold. Santorum isn't a surprise. DeMint isn't terribly shocking either.

But the movement types like Karl Rove are still out there. Rove's told Akin he won't be getting any help, but you know that changes in October if it's a tight race.

Why? Because Romney's promises (repeal and replace, tax cuts, etc.) are dead on arrival without a cooperative Senate.
