Dems (six now) condemning Franken. Calling for his resignation. Just like Conyers. Nowhere to turn. Franken hid out for a week to no avail. He gone. Great day in America.

This link makes reference to a seventh accuser, and mentions that 9 Senators (7 women and 2 men) have now called for Franken to resign.

An hour and a half earlier it was 5-6:

......and seconds after I posted the above....the total increased from 9 to 10.

Only six? I was almost sure he'd be around 10-12 right about now. Typically, when one woman comes out, a bus load follows.

cya later Al.

btw: as a conservative, I think Moore should drop out of the race. Hes got too much drama going on.

Stupid democrats! They are shooting their own for the sake of appearances to a group that is already in their camp. What they should be doing is defending the accused like the GOP does and going after those who admire "real men". It is those voters they need if they want to succeed.

One of the two original progressive groups that called for Franken's resignation (noted on a post of mine quite aways back in the thread) wanted Franken to resign so that the Democrat Governor of Minnesota could appoint a progressive woman in his place.
