I've had a high opinion of Franken for some time.
1. That is precisely how Moore's supporters feel about Moore.
2. However, the reported acts are quite different.
3. As is the number of witnesses (and acts).
4. And from what Roger states, the lead-off Franken accusation does seem to raise some questions about simple reliability.
5. Not least if the accuser is in fact friendly with an enemy (I think Hannity deserves the word) political operative, as I believe are none of Moore's accusers.
Michelle Goldberg called for Franken to resign. I see the argument, but I'm not there yet.
Cheers,
John
Update: I think my points 2 and 3 will stand at present (barring further testimony). 4 and 5 I'd like to know more about, before forming an opinion.
