The difference
Read what I posted to Rob for context.
A more accurate analogy would be Rep Weiner. Here's a guy who was one of my heros. His downfall was so disappointing. But Ithe Democrats pushed him out, and I didn't defend him here.
Imagine if he was in a race that could potentially swing his branch of government and he refused to resign!
The REAL difference with Akin is the GOP is trying to push him out for saying what they really believe.
