MORE PSEUDO-CONSERVATIVE PARANOIA

Today I got to hear more evidence that the GOP is frigging wacko. Fats Limbaugh had a couple of callers claim that Rep. Todd Akin was paid off to REMAIN in the Senate race. The PPP flash poll on the McCaskill-Akin race also came under suspicion:

“If I were a cynic, I might suggest that PPP — a Democratic pollster — did the flash poll knowing it was too soon for the effect of the controversy to make its way into the electorate in the hope of keeping Akin’s hope alive before he makes his decision overnight whether to step aside,” wrote William Jacobson of the conservative Legal Insurrection blog.

National Review’s Jim Geraghty and American Thinker’s Thomas Lifson also questioned PPP’s motives and methodology the next day.

“Anyone suspect that the Democrat polling firm might be trying to get the result they want, to ensure Akin stays in, so that he can get pummeled in November?” Geraghty asked.
