The repugican party is now trying to oust "forcible rape" congressman from Senate race

There's no way he's not pulling out of the race.*  First the background from CBS:

The question he faced was simple: Should abortion be legal in the case of rape?

"From what I understand from doctors - that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," Akin said.

NYT has more:

Amid an uproar over provocative comments on rape and abortion that Mr. Akin made in an interview broadcast on Sunday, the national repugican senatorial cabal declared that it would withdraw financial and organizational support for Mr. Akin, including $5 million in advertising already reserved for the fall. In the interview, Mr. Akin said victims of “legitimate rape” rarely got pregnant.

Crossroads GPS, a repugican advocacy group that had already spent more than $5 million to weaken Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri, considered the Senate’s most endangered incumbent, announced that it was withdrawing from the state.

At the same time, repugican candidates like Mitt Romney and Senator Scott P. Brown of Massachusetts either called for Mr. Akin to step aside or strongly indicated that he should. In a radio interview, the wingnut host Sean Handjob pleaded with Mr. Akin to drop out. “Sometimes an election is bigger than one person,” he said.

But Mr. Akin said on Monday that he would not drop out. “I’m not a quitter,” he said on Mike Huckabee’s radio program.

Romney and McConnell have abandoned the guy too. It's only a matter of time now.

*Update: we were in error - the moron is too stupid and stubborn to do the proper thing:

The Todd Akin controversy has shed a light into the powerful repugican political machine. Author Craig Unger tell us that Karl Rove’s super PAC had "put in more than $5 million into the Akin campaign, which was twice as much as the Akin campaign put in. So he was responsible for Akin's lead over [Claire] McCaskill more than anyone.” However, Akin's rape comment is "[Rove’s] nightmare, and he was doing everything he could to pull the plug immediately." Despite Rove cutting ties, Akin vows to stay in the senate race.
