I would like to know what the plan is for his electoral defeat by a Democrat in 2014. What Democrat will run against him and beat him? Optimism only, please.

Legitimate rape is back. Just a couple months after former Rep. Todd Akins (R-MO) famous use of the phrase helped contribute to a double-digit loss in the 2012 Missouri Senate race, a Republican congressman and medical doctor said at a breakfast Thursday that Akin was partly right when he said it.
