Akin has a fundraiser with Newt Gingrich scheduled for Monday and also just launched a new ad and Web site on women’s issues. His campaign also sent a fundraising e-mail Thursday morning attacking National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (R-Tex.) for deserting his campaign. (Sample: “…the Washington insiders and Party Bosses were wrong about Rubio, wrong about Rand Paul, and they’re just as wrong about Todd Akin.”)

These are not the moves of someone who is about to succumb to the pressure.

Anyone should be able to stand up to John Cornyn, who is so mealy-mouthed, but in TX no one will.
