Granholm: GOP against Akin in name, but solidly behind his ideas

	The War Room with Jennifer Granholm Share “Congressman Todd Akin has got to be scratching his head at the recent turn of events,” Jennifer Granholm says. “Why are the Republicans so breathlessly chasing him from the field when they all — and especially Paul Ryan — have advocated essentially the same thing?” On the heels of Republicans refusing to include a no-rape exception to abortion in their party platform, Granholm digs into the politics underlying the GOP’s extreme stance on a woman’s right to choose. And why is Akin being shunned from the party while Romney’s vice presidential pick Paul Ryan gets to stay right where he is? The answer might be simpler than you think.
