That one man — Mr. Rove — has the power and audacity to try to undo the will of 217,430 voters, and that many top Missouri Republicans are aiding and abetting his efforts, should confound and dismay most Americans.
It confirms what those who have been paying attention to the big money in our political system have known for a while. To deep-pocketed donors, the U.S. Senate race in Missouri has nothing to do with Claire McCaskill and whether she cast a vote intended to reduce the number of Americans without health insurance. It has nothing to do with Mr. Akin saying dumb things.
It is about money and power.
