Only problem with that theory is Akin has also dropped at least 10% since his rape comment.
Since both Romney and Akin are dropping in the polls, perhaps we should ask ourselves what Romney (R) and Akin (R) share in common that could be the reason for the sudden and mysterious drop?
Then we should ask, what has happened in the last 7 days to cause that sudden drop?
Perhaps Romney would be fairing better if he didn't appear to be bending over on account of media bullying.
