Sen. John Cornyn, Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told the Kentucky Courier-Journal on Thursday that he has “no plans” to back Rep. Todd Akin in the Missouri Senate race:

“We have no plans to do so,” Cornyn told The Courier-Journal in an interview just a short time ago.

“I just think that this is not a winnable race,” he said. “We have to make tough calculations based on limited resources and where to allocate it, where it will have the best likelihood of electing a Republican senator.”
