1. This is a dupe.

2. If Franken resigns, will the Republicans agree to seat his replacement?

Just askin'

3. Good question... and should be factored into Franken's decision...

whether to go through the Senate ethics investigation process. Why not let the system work?!

[ollie10]

4. We have a lose-lose situation....

If Franken fights..... the Rs will paint us as the party of double standards, sex offenders

If Franken resigns......the Rs will paint us as the party of double standards, sex offenders

I say, who cares what the Rs try to paint us to be. We need to do what is right and stand up for it! Franken should not resign.

5. What if he leaves the Democratic Party but stays in the Senate

Goes independent?

[Merlot]

6. That would work!

I'm digusted with these senators that have called for resignation before any ethics committee has done it's work.

Trial by water does not end well.

edit to add: After giving it some thought, I would join him. In fact, am so upset by the stupidity of what dems are doing, might go ahead with it anyhow. I support the Democratic platform, but not the party.
