I was not aware of any Dims calling for Akin to leave the race. Who is doing so and what is their reasoning?

I was referring to this passage in the article, quoted above (q.v.):

Prior to Akin's misworded comment, he was leading in the polls over the Democrat incumbent, Sen. Claire McCaskill, who is considered to be the most vulnerable Democrat in the Senate. If his chances are now so dismal, why is Moveon.org calling for Akin to resign? Or why is the liberal super PAC American Bridge 21st Century demanding that Romney drop Huckabee from the GOP convention for supporting Akin? The left is well aware that to put in a substitute candidate now would risk losing the seat.....

Well I do not know what Move On’s agenda is here, or the emphasis of the American Bridge 21st Centurys agenda is either. The majority of Dems want Akin to be the GOP candidate. McCaskill is vulnerable to any of them, but Bruner or Steelman would have routed Claire hands down No Doubt.
