There is a question as to whether Franken should resign. For my part, it is premature to call for any such thing. For this would depend on his continued response, which has so far stood out in a good way relative to other notables accused of misconduct (his second, if not quite his first, apology to the first accusation was the best he could have done in the circumstances). This question would be influenced greatly by the advent of additional accusations. Especially if that happens, he may have too much baggage to be an asset to the party moving forward, as much as it pains me to realize; but if he makes it through all the scrutiny, he may yet continue to be more of an asset than a liability in the final analysis. Time will tell, or so I suppose.
