Mitt Romney On Akin: We Cant Defend Him
Mitt Romney "stopped short" of calling on Todd Akin to resign from the Missouri Senate race in an interview with WMUR in New Hampshire that aired Monday.
"He should understand that his words with regards to rape are words that I can't defend, that we can't defend, and we can't defend him," Romney told WMUR.
