Could Todd Akin be the new comeback kid?
The 65-year-old former congressman says don't rule him out. Nearly six months after losing the Senate race he continues to be attacked from all sides of the political spectrum. But the greatest barbs are thrown by fellow Republicans.
In an exclusive interview with KSDK-TV, the former Missouri congressman said, "I'm not going to try to get even with anybody. If you start to blame everyone else for something that happened you didn't like, it will destroy you. It will eat you alive."
After 12 years representing Missouri's 2nd Congressional District, this infamous quote, "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," derailed his campaign and his reputation.

Akin did NOT directly retract his ill-informed "legitimate rape" POV in this interview:
Akin said, "No, no and I apologized for that. All of us are fallible, we make mistakes, and we say things the wrong way. I really lived that moment many, many times."
"say things the wrong way"? He didn't have the courage to say "I was ill-informed and ignorant."
Not even free republic wants him back: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3012806/posts
