Another Monday. Lots of press overdrive re: Todd Akin and this time largely driven by his compatriots who have apparently found a line that conservatives should not cross.

Chris Bullock has raised a pretty impressive amount of money, $42 K overall, with almost $16 K of it coming from contributions of $100 or less. That’s a lot of small contributions for a race […]
