Race to the Bottom

UPDATE: It turns out that Paul Ryan hasn't endorsed Todd Akin, even though Akin's political director explicitly promoted Ryan's support as an endorsement. Ryan says he was only praising Akin's work helping craft the budget to eliminate Medicare as we know it. 

Politico: "Missouri Democrats no longer have to worry about branding Rep. Todd Akin as for 'the Ryan plan.' He's now actually Paul Ryan's candidate."
