The bottom line of the interview was that he agreed with Hannity that he could lose the Senate seat and maybe even pull Missouri out of the Romney column, thus swinging the election to Obama and destroy the country as a result. But, hey, he can live with that. Why? Because he's "not a quitter." In the moral battle between the good of the country or satisfying his own ego, the ego won out...unless he does the RIGHT THING by tomorrow afternoon.
So, the solution to the "problem" (Akin being too conservative is the real problem for GOP-e) is a more moderate, establishment type to be put up in his place, who in turn will sign on to whatever agenda, no matter how liberal, Romney decides to propose.
