Sarah Palin didn’t back Todd Akin in the three-way Missouri Republican Senate primary, throwing her weight behind Sarah Steelman instead. And now that Akin’s all alone after deciding to stay in the race despite the urgings of most of the GOP establishment, Palin says it’s time for a new candidate.
Via Christian Heinze, Palin said “If he [Akin] doesn’t do it [drop out], then it’s going to be third party then.”
“We’ll do whatever we can to not quash this opportunity that we have to take Missouri,” Palin said.
