Todd Akin petitions for support, blames liberal media for pressure to drop out; Update: 'Thank you for standing up against the liberal elite'

Just hours before, Sean Hannity had urged Akin, a guest on his radio show, to drop out of the race, citing calls from Mitt Romney and others for Akin to bow out.
