Does " selling the last of his soul" mean "selling his last dignity (to devils)"?
Context:
Mitt Romney has a problem with most Americans, including Republicans, by his history of appearing to be a weak, vacillating, flip flopper on real policies and issues who stood only for what it took to get elected and playing hard and dirty in that political arena. Having seen the polls and encouraged by the promise of billions by mega billionaires led by the Koch Brothers and international gambling magnate Sheldon Adelson. Mitt has gone "all in", selling the last of his soul, by picking Paul Ryan as his Vice Presidential running mate.
