So it seems that Al Franken is going to resign tomorrow (although I won't believe it until I hear it actually happened.) Franken was hit with accusations from two more women who say he groped them. The wave of accusations seems to be growing rather than stopping. The Democrats know that by calling on Franken to resign, they can try to look like the party that cares rather than the party from which most of the abusers come. They also know that if Franken resigns, he will be replaced by another Democrat appointed by Minnesota governor Mark Dayton. They can also then point out that Roy Moore has not been forced to resign. Of course, it is rather hard for Moore to resign since he hasn't been elected yet.
One thing is certain. Franken's departure from the senate is no big loss. The man has been a zero since he got to Washington.
