or he could announce that he won't run again but it would be more likely to do that IN Minnesota.

This is ridiculous. Frankly, he should take Bill Clinton's route-- hold off, let them do their worst. Make them impeach, for god's sake. This isn't worth quitting over. The people of MN elected him-- he should do his job.

Resignation is the easy way out.

....They defend Moore, and Trump, and Barton was just a footnote. David Vitter was given a standing o when he returned.
It's only our side of the aisle. I am sick of it, our pundits have to apologize, but Hannitry, and Limbaugh can say anything, but Olbermann got suspended on MSNBC. I have always said, I am tired of being the grownups in the room, we need to fight just as hard and loud as they do.

I know he feels guilty, but his sins are not great. Important, yes, but not great. And he is contrite about them. We should all be very grateful if no harassment (sexual or otherwise) rose above this level.
