Friday, Akin found like five or six women to stand with him. But the process of assembling a crowd to serve as a backdrop for this event didn't go so smoothly.
' @mmcauliff via web They needed a woman to get behind Akin in the live shot, so they found... Phyllis Schlafly.
' @daveweigel via TweetDeck It's practically a requirement for Schlafly that she won't stand with any candidate other women are supporting, though. Also, supporting candidates like Akin is a good way for her to get some attention and remind people that she's still alive.
So that's it: Todd Akin is the Republican Party's candidate for Senate in Missouri. And of course that means that, having failed to shut that whole candidacy down, Republican groups will spend money on the race as they swore they wouldn't do back when they were trying to get him off the ballot.
