Rove: If Todd Akin is found murdered, don't look for me

It was a joke, but not a very funny one.

Political kingmaker Karl Rove, speaking at a fundraiser for his American Crossroads super PAC on the final day of the Republican National Convention. made it clear that he would like to see Todd Akin vanish- at least from his U. S. Senate race against incumbent Claire McCaskill:


During the more than hour-long session, Rove explained to an audience dotted with hedge fund billionaires and investors—including John Paulson and Wilbur Ross—how his super PAC, American Crossroads, will persuade undecided voters in crucial swing states to vote against Barack Obama. He also detailed plans for Senate and House races, and joked, “We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!”

Rove's apology to Akin: "I didn't know there was a reporter in the room."

America truly is at a crossroads. We can either continue along our present course and allow huge amounts of money from undisclosed sources to determine the outcome of our elections, or we can implement the necessary reforms that will allow us to operate more like a democracy in the Jeffersonian tradition. Much is on the line here! Rick Nichols.
