Maybe I'm being a little too cynical here
But I think that since Akin was only lambasted for openly saying what most Republicans think in private, that he was blasted by his fellow Republicans in public for MSM consumption, but patted on the back in private.
So? So they pull funding that is public record, Senate Republican Committee, RNC, and PACS whose donors are public, and fund the hell out of him by the dirty money Super-PACS whose donors are hidden from public record.
That way, everybody on the radical right is happy. Rolls-Ryan and Yertle McTurtle can all say, "we urged him to resign, it's on camera!" Rove can say, "see? I pulled my money from him!" And Akin can say, "See? I've got plenty of supporters, more than enough to conduct my campaign."
I can't imagine Akin would have smugly stayed in this race if he thought he'd run out of money soon, or be ostracized if he won.
Ergo? Ergo, I think he was told in private that someone (Adelson and Koch, for example, not to name any names) would have his financial back all the way to the Senate floor.
The only person who can stop him is Claire McCaskill--and a few million Missouri voters. McCaskill is a Blue Dog, but from Missouri, that's about as good as we could hope for these days, and she's a whole lot better than a "Senator Akin."
