Apparently, to Romney, it's ok to *think* like Akin does, just as long as you don't get caught saying what you think. Well, that's no surprise. If Romney asked Akin to step down, he'd have to ask the very same of his own running mate, who shares the exact same perspective on Abortion and Rape that Akin does.
Yep, Romney endorses Akin (just not Akin talking about it).
