Color Missouri Democratic Party chair Mike Sanders unsurprised. As news broke that the NRSC was reconsidering its support for Rep. Todd Akin’s Senate candidacy Wednesday, Saunders told reporters his party never expected Republicans to stay away despite their promises to the contrary.“We’ve always expected these dollars to flow in. So when you heard from the Republican side the outcry that ‘we’re going to pull away from Todd Akin,’ we never thought that would be the case,” Sanders told TPM on a conference call. “Number one, I never expected he would drop out and number two, we always knew that these dollars would flow in. So we fully expect it, and we ‘re ready for it.”
