Todd Akin minimized the political impact of his “legitimate rape” remarks in an interview with Sena Hannity on Monday, saying he expected the Missouri Senate election would turn into a referendum on Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and President Obama.

“I made a single error in one sentence,” he said. “Maybe the Democrats or certain people won’t want to forget that or will want to use that as a political weapon, but I think that the people of Missouri are big enough to take a look at the whole package.”
