I am not seeing anything official from the NRSC

You won't. They aren't going to admit they were bias against Akin. They changed their map for Missouri under pressure but that's as far as they will go.

or at other news outlets

Are you kidding? You expect the news outlets to cover a cover up? Especially the LSM? LOL

Conservative outlets would cover any reversal by the NRSC toward Akin.

I doubt there has been any change.

Whether or not you agree with it or not, they advised quite publicly and forcefully his candidacy would not be recognized by the NRSC and they were pulling $5 million in funds they had allocated to assist him. Right after the remarks and their announcement is when his name got removed from the map...I was curious myself back then if they would keep any reference to him on their website and they wasted no time removing his name.

I find it difficult to believe people who are genuinely pro-life are spending so much time on someone who caused the credibility of the movement so much damage. The use of the word "legitimate" was a gaffe in that he clearly meant by it actual forcible rape, however, what followed was not a gaffe and as far I as know he still stands by the remarks.

Akin was the choice of McCaskill and the Democrats who spent millions to make sure he won the nomination. There are people still going around here saying he was the grassroots conservative choice.
