Mitt Romney Calls On Todd Akin To Quit Missouri Senate Race | Talking Points Memo

Mitt Romney called on Rep. Todd Akin (R) to walk away from the Missouri Senate race Tuesday.

“As I said yesterday, Todd Akin’s comments were offensive and wrong and he should very seriously consider what course would be in the best interest of our country,” Romney said in a statement Tuesday. “Today, his fellow Missourians urged him to step aside, and I think he should accept their counsel and exit the Senate race.”
