A reader alerts us that Tyler Harber is representing a Missouri-based super PAC that has put up $1 million at the last minute to get Sen. Todd "legitimate rape" Akin elected. TPM has the report...
Harber: "Todd Akin may have not been our first choice for Republican nominee in the race to replace Claire McCaskill. But, Congressman Akin plays an important role in securing the Senate chamber."

Well, there's a ringing endorsement.
Good thing the congressman has a "super" PAC.
Any old boy will do
Just so long as it's not a Democratic woman who is qualified. Buying a Republican government is hard work and takes lots of money. Thank goodness for Tyler.
