Congressman [[Todd Akin]] is the [[Republican Party]] nominee for one of the most-watched races for the [[U.S. Senate]] in 2012. He has represented a portion of the greater [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]] area in the [[House of Representatives]] since 2000 (Missouri's 2nd congressional district).

On August 19, 2012, in a local television interview with KTVI, Akin rejected a suggestion that there should be a broad [[rape]] exception to limits on [[abortion]]. He distinguished between an actual rape and a false allegation of rape by referring to the former as a "legitimate rape," terminology that the [[liberal media]] then unfairly took out of context to engage in demagoguery against him.

In 2017, Hannity similarly damaged the [[Roy Moore]] U.S. Senate campaign in [[Alabama]] when he scolded the former state chief justice for failure to defend himself adequately in regard to allegations of sexual abuse that surfaced in the campaign. Moore then lost the race to the liberal Democrat [[Doug Jones]], and the GOP Senate majority slipped from 52 to 51.

==Early career==
The youngest of four children, Hannity was born in [[New York City]] to Irish immigrants. He dropped out of college to embark on a [[radio]] career, and in 1988 was at a small-town station of WVNN in [[Huntsville, Alabama]]. He later broke into a Top 10 market in Atlanta at 640 AM WGST. His national recognition came as an occasional substitute host on the top rated ''The [[Rush Limbaugh]] Show''. Allegedly on his first guest show, he dropped the golden [[Excellence In Broadcasting|EIB]] microphone because of a case of high nerves. The attention gained from substitute-hosting the show paved his way to national syndication.
