There Is Only ONE WAY Romney can Rebuke Akin...

And that is by dismissing Ryan as his VP Candidate.

Ryan and Akin have exactly the same stance on Abortion.

Ryan and Akin co-sponsored the bill that defined "forcible" or in Akin's latest words "legitimate" rape. And they don't see it as a exclusion to a ban on abortions.

If Romney doesn't ask Ryan to step down, he's adopting the same stance Ryan has on the issue.

And if Mitt dismissed Ryan, that would politically be more damaging to him than not.
