Yeah, I'm curious about that last point as well.

The Republican Party has asked him to step out of the race and they are refusing to give him any support or money. The only one who wants him in the race is the democrats because it gives them the opportunity to have some manufactured outrage to distract from their failures and the media is happy to play along. One thing that is being ignored by the media is that the democrats spent 1.5 million to help him win so the same people who are the most shocked and offended by his comments are partially responsible for him even being in the race and if he wins they have no one to blame but themselves.
The Democrats are definitely happy to have Akin in the spotlight as long as possible- he's basically the iconic capstone to a year of escalating "Republicans vs. Women" incidents- but what's that about them spending money to help him win?
I amuse myself.

That is second on my list of things I remember about him, probably down to third now.

I was trying to cut to the chase; like I say, I followed your logic: I just disliked where it led.

Disliking the conclusion doesn't invalidate the logic, and stop veering out of the debate boundary

No, the logics invalidity does that, though you do not seem to like its conclusion either.
