Todd Akin On Claire McCaskill: She “Was Much More Ladylike” In 2006
Rep. Todd Akin was displeased with Senator Claire McCaskill being aggressive in their debate.
“I think we have a very clear path to victory, and apparently Claire McCaskill thinks we do, too, because she was very aggressive at the debate, which was quite different than it was when she ran against Jim Talent,” Akin said. “She had a confidence and was much more ladylike (in 2006), but in the debate on Friday she came out swinging, and I think that’s because she feels threatened.”
