Well, that’s wonderful. Send me a note after the election. If Akin wins, I will be more than happy to make a public apology.
No need for an apology either way. I think those who have “piled on” Akin are wrong both morally and tactically; however, you have a right to your opinion just as I do to mine. I've always ascribed to the saying, usually attributed to Voltaire: “I may disagree w/what you say; but, I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Take care,
