GOP 'Firing Back' At New Todd Akin Memoir

GOP 'Firing Back' At New Todd Akin Memoir
FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2012 file photo, then-Missouri Republican Senate candidate, Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo. speaks to supporters after losing to Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., in Chesterfield, Mo. The biggest Republican-leaning money machines are spending dramatically less to help the party ahead of the 2014 congressional elections, a year after big-dollar conservative groups poured millions into unsuccessful campaigns against President Barack Obama and Democratic candidates, and the GOP failed to retake the White House or the Senate. Akin emerged from a three-way primary, only to implode in August after suggesting publicly that female victims of "a legitimate rape" have the biological capacity to prevent pregnancy.
