What to do?


I am glad I am not a staffer being asked to give advice.  It is hard for me to know what I would tell Al Franken.  If he wishes to model good behavior, should he resign?  Should he resign and ask Governor Dayton to choose a woman to replace him as a symbolic, and probably helpful, gesture?  Or should he stay in the Senate and face the ethics probe? Most people in his position would resign as a way to end the "trouble."  The behavior we see most often  is an out of court settlement and a resignation. On the other hand, going before the panel, having already apologized, we would get to see a public figure take responsibility for their past actions and accept whatever happens next.
