Rand Paul goes to bat for Akin

— Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is going to the aid of Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin.

Paul’s political action committee plans to begin running an ad today against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill. The ad criticizes McCaskill’s vote against a Paul amendment last month that would have blocked foreign aid to Egypt, Libya and Pakistan.

Paul’s committee is running similar ads against Democratic senators in several states.

Akin, a Republican congressman, also called for the U.S. to suspend aid to Egypt.
