The Hurricane has made landfall in Tampa

Hurricane Akin, that is

Akin meets conservative leaders in Florida


Rep. Todd Akin was in Tampa Wednesday night meeting with top conservative groups and donors, several sources confirmed to POLITICO.

The embattled Missouri Senate candidate flew to Tampa to meet with members of the Council for National Policy, a secretive coalition of powerful conservative and evangelical leaders, activists, and donors.

A person attending the CNP gathering in Tampa confirmed that Akin was there Wednesday evening, after several sources close to Akin in Missouri said the embattled GOP Senate candidate would be attending. It was unclear if he had been invited prior to his “legtimate rape” remarks Sunday.

Akin’s representatives did not respond to a request for comment. The six-term congressman has said that he will not attend the Republican National Convention in Tampa next week.

He has no self-awareness whatsoever, and he thinks everyone else in the world is a fool.

What a sad life for a sad man.

but has filed for bankruptcy 4 times and yet still thinks he's a self made tycoon and business genius. The hair is just one of many self-delusions.
