    “My immediate reaction was disgust, ... I was excited to be there and to meet him. And so to have that happen really deflated me. It felt like: ‘Is this really the person who is going to be in a position of power to represent our community?’” ...

    The first woman wanted to tell her story because Franken is “a serial groper,” ... “people are saying that this is a right-wing conspiracy,” she said. “It’s not. I’m a liberal person. … I voted for him after this happened.”

    They want Franken out before the Roy Moore vote next week, so they can make the case that Moore can not be a Senator. Franken will take one for the team. His replacement will be another Democrat, so they aren't worried about that.

    Maybe. His seat was won in a close race. IIRC there were allegations of cheating, even. Of course the political landscape was quite different.

    Be funny if it didn't. They toss Franken overboard, Moore wins anyway, and then the GOP wins the MN seat as well. (Trump won MN..)

    Does the Governor pick the replacement? Governor is a Democrat.

    A special election would be held in November of 2018
    Gives them about a year to consolidate support and run as a virtual incumbent. Probably wouldn't have any competition in the Democrat Primary, but would against a GOP opponent in the General with a bit of the incumbent advantage.

    I'm sure the DNC has it worked out. Political parties do not voluntarily lose seats because of scandal. Marion Barry is getting a statue fer Christ sakes.

    The panel discussing this on CNN were very happy. They are saying that this will result in Roy Moore losing or never being seated in the Senate. Guess the plan is on track. Next up is weeks of MSM saying that Moore is not fit, Franken is the proof. No process required.

    At first they wanted to push this off to an ethics committee, but since Roy Moore wouldn't drop out, they have to go with no process other than inciting the mobs.

    Senator Al Franken (D-MN) announced he would be resigning in the coming weeks in the wake of recent allegations against him of sexual misconduct.

    They are covering themselves for after the Moore election - getting it both ways quite the strategy.

    Now Governor Mark Dayton is throwing a wrench in the works by evidently appointing a caretaker on the condition she not seek to keep the seat, which opens the seat up to the real possibility of Republican capture in 2018 (maybe by Norm Coleman, the Republican Franken defeated in 2008).
