Then again he should never have been elected in the first place.

Don't worry the Republican's will circle the wagons around these two.

they're trying there hardest to force Akin out and loving on Ryan. The RNC, Boehner, Cornyn, Romney, The Tea Party Express and more have all publicly called for Akin to step aside.

If Akin has to go, then so should Ryan.

I hope others see the connection and discuss it on their shows.

right there too. All the interviewer had to ask was, "could you explain the differences in the rape and abortion ideas of mr ryan compared to mr akin."

there must be a real glut in the quality of news journalism professors these days

they want a constitutional ban on abortion with no clause for rape or incest. Akin isn't any MORE offensive than the whole party. It's just most in the party dance around the language better than him.
