All of the networks are reading from the same Dem talking points. After Sandra Fluke was made a mockery of, this has now put 'women's reproductive rights' back on the front burner, elbowing out the real issues that R&R were gaining traction with - economy, unemployment, national debt, Medicare, rising gas prices, etc.
Right or wrong .. apology or not ... Akin needs to stop being a distraction, and he does that by withdrawing from the race.
Sandra Fluke will be a featured speaker at the dem convention. Probably be put in as a suprise VP choice.
