Because of the painful but very real double standard that nails Republicans for such transgressions while allowing Democrats to literally get away with murder, pressure is on Akin (especially from Republicans) to get out of the race. Also predictably, the Left is running wild with a newly energetic (but still bogus) "war on women" drumbeat.
