Poll shows Akin down, McCaskill tries Jedi Mind Trick, ‘No, you’re fine’

Oh, good grief. Sneaky, heal thyself.

Senator McCaskill’s attempt at reverse psychology is incredibly lame; is she trying for yet another terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day? What Rasmussen poll is the Democrat Missouri senator trying, and failing, to discredit? Oh, only the one that has her now up by ten over Rep. Akin.

Rasmussen poll: Claire McCaskill up by 10 over Todd Akin — http://t.co/bakqy45M

Prior to the “legitimate rape” debacle and subsequent media frenzy, Rep. Akin was leading McCaskill. Gee, we wonder why she wants him to think that he didn’t just plummet like a dumb rock?

Bingo. In her desperate attempt to bitterly cling to her senate seat, she is trying a pitiful Jedi Mind Trick: “You’re fine, Akin. No, no, you’re fine.” Citizens with half a brain see right through her, natch, and rightly call her out on her idiocy.

@clairecmc And the Democratic pollster PPP helping keep Akin in the race is…what again? Don't be shameless, senator.

Holy crap. @clairecmc is actually dismissing a poll that shows her up 10 just to keep Akin afloat: https://t.co/EtDYFzC3

Translation: You're FINE, Todd! MT @clairecmc: Rasmussen poll made me LOL. If anyone believes that, I just turned 29. Sneaky stuff.

"Sneaky stuff," says @ClaireCMC of an entirely believable Rasmussen poll, after Dems spent $1.5 million to help him win the GOP primary.

OMG. We're seeing Democrats like @ClaireCMC now insist there's NO WAY idiotic Akin could be down 10 points.

— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) August 23, 2012

I'm not saying @ClaireCMC is dumb because she genuinely believes her Tweets. I'm saying she's dumb because she thinks we will believe them.

Give. Me. A. Break. RT @clairecmc: Rasmussen poll made me laugh out loud. If anyone believes that, I just turned 29. Sneaky stuff.

Spending to have Akin win not sneaky? RT @clairecmc: Rasmussen poll made me LOL. If anyone believes that, I just turned 29. Sneaky stuff.

When you’ve lost BuzzFeed …

The only person who thinks Claire McCaskill's tweets are on the level is Todd Akin.

— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) August 23, 2012

Could @ClaireCMC be any less subtle? Might one of Akin's advisers explain the concept of playground reverse psychology to him?

— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) August 23, 2012

One would hope they would. In the meantime, perhaps McCaskill’s sneaky attempt will back-fire?

If @ClareCMC thinks there's no way Akin is down 10… what does that say about her view of her constituents?

— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) August 23, 2012

@jimgeraghty So McCaskill basically agrees with Akin about his polls… ZOMG!! CLAIRE MCCASKILL AGREES WITH TODD AKIN!

— John Hayward (@Doc_0) August 23, 2012

Yes, that's right folks: CLAIRE MCCASKILL AGREES WITH TODD AKIN. It's about poll numbers, but still, agreeing with Akin is doooooom!

— John Hayward (@Doc_0) August 23, 2012

Heh.

Nice try, Senator McCaskill. But once again, happy warriors are far too smart for you. Aren’t you tired of being constantly shamed yet?
