Hells bells! Akin himself said that Ryan has called him and asked him to drop out. I’d say that’s a rebuke of the tallest order.

Got a link for that?

I heard Akin say Ryan had called and told Akin he "had a tough decision to make" but that the decision was "up to him [Akin]."

Thousands of links on the web from Fox, CNN, NBC, ABC, etc etc. However, I’ll link you to my favorite source instead.
