Akin is a good man and is surrounded by good people —

I don't know him, but he does seem like a good man. When this thing first broke, I thought he could weather it. The longer this goes on, he is less and less likely to win the Senate seat. It is too bad so many Republicans chose to immediately throw him under the bus vs. helping him with PR and better info on the whole thing....but here we are.

If taking back the Senate hinged on his seat, is his country worth giving up his slot? At this point, it doesn't matter what is fair...what matters is reality on the ground. He should step down for his country. (If he does stay in, he will need a whole lot of good people funding/supporting him because noone else is doing it at this point.)
