Senator John Cornyn, who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, says, “We’re done.”

“As far as I’m concerned, that’s up to the people of Missouri,” he added. “I’ve done everything I know how to do.”

As Akin begins to build a campaign operation focused heavily on turning out conservatives, Republicans in Washington are starting to put their cash elsewhere, resigned to the increasing likelihood that they will be stuck with a candidate they fear has no chance against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.).
