But the only reason conservatives want Akin to drop out is they think the leftist smears will cost him the election. In other words, they’re willing to just give up without a fight.

Nice try. Many of us Palin supporters would beg to differ. I personally have spent 4 years defending her. And never gave up.

The difference is, she is/was worth the fight. This guy is not. He didn't make a gaffe or misplace words, he believed in some crackpot theory that raped woman can't get pregnant. He's an embarrassment.

I don’t think his comments were enough for everyone to go completely nuts about it.

That one isolated comment was not something on which his campaign or his principles are based. The disproportion here is ludicrous.
