She's right, though. He should step down, because staying in could hurt many, many others presuming he'll lose the election and hurt the chances of ousting the Left from White House. Most know it isn't fair (as Ann wrote at the end of her article) yet that's how it is, and Akin should know this. He works for something bigger than himself. If I were him I'd accentuate that I meant no harm, but for the good of my country I should step down. Why won't he do this?
