Al Franken accused of sexual harassment

[Koharu]

Yep, as much as I love what Franken has done, he needs to get out. I would be okay with him finishing out his term (as I would be with anyone else already seated in Congress), but he then needs to be done. Resignation would be better, obviously, because it shows initiative and on the politics side, Dayton would appoint the replacement.

C'mon, Al. Own up, apologize, resign, and show 'em how to behave after.

I would love if, perhaps, Dayton would appoint Walz to replace him. But I think Walz wants to get out of Washington, hence his governor bid.

Ummmmm Moore is accused of being a pedophile that is a whole lot worse then what Al did

And I hope that Mr. Franken shows himself to be a much more upstanding person by owning his mistakes and taking the consequences--resignation.

At lest he is contrite. Moore is defiant.

True, but this doesn't excuse him from his actions nonetheless.

This. As much as I really, truly appreciate Franken stepping  up and apologizing, he needs to set an example. It sucks for him (and for the Senate and Minnesota), but now is the best time to do it. Show that the Democratic party isn't shallow on this front, and if there's ever a time to keep your seat safe, now is it, as much as I hate how that comes into consideration.
