He said in his speech Thursday, on the Senate floor, he would be resigning sometime in the weeks ahead.

I have called, tweeted to him and emailed yesterday and today - don't resign.

The Gillibrand thing is backfiring. She's going down, at least her favorability numbers. Let that be a lesson to anyone who spearheads a lynch mob to run someone out of the Senate on such flimsy allegations.

Every accused has the right to face the accusers and make a defense. Every accuser needs to provide proof and demonstrate honesty and credibility.

I am so glad we are not hearing the marching orders "believe every woman's story" anymore.
