Akin meets conservative leaders in Florida
Rep. Todd Akin was in Tampa Wednesday night meeting with top conservative groups and donors, several sources confirmed to POLITICO.
The embattled Missouri Senate candidate flew to Tampa to meet with members of the Council for National Policy, a secretive coalition of powerful conservative and evangelical leaders, activists, and donors.
A person attending the CNP gathering in Tampa confirmed that Akin was there Wednesday evening, after several sources close to Akin in Missouri said the embattled GOP Senate candidate would be attending. It was unclear if he had been invited prior to his legtimate rape remarks Sunday.
Akins representatives did not respond to a request for comment. The six-term congressman has said that he will not attend the Republican National Convention in Tampa next week.
