Akin: Seriously, I am not getting out (Updated)Last edited Mon Aug 20, 2012, 09:05 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Rhiannon12866 (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum). Todd Akin, in an interview with Sean Hannity on his radio show that's still going on, said despite some media reports, he is not actually leaving the Missouri race. "I was told that there is a decision has to be made by 5 o'clock tomorow but I was calling you and letting you know that I'm announcing today that we're (staying) in," Akin told Hannity. Asked if he'd thought about the consequences of staying in, the congressman said he has. "I certainly have, and I've just run a very tough primary race in the state of Missouri," he said, "I stuck to basically our conservative principles ... when people make a mistake and they are honest about it and say it was a mistake, I (think) they move on." "I still believe I'm in the strongest position to (win)," he said.
