The Daily Background

Senator John Ensign (R-Nevada)* just called for him to resign. I don’t think he can stay much longer.

* Ensign is, smart bloggers and blog readers will recall, the Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. And when the Chair of the NRSC, who is charged with the task of reclaiming the Senate for the GOP in 2008 calls for you to resign, you seriously re-evaluate your situation (if you’re a Republican, that is). This would be like if Chuck Schumer called for a Democratic Senator’s resignation.

Except of course, it’s kind of a bigger deal with Republicans though because they hardly ever call for each other to resign, even when it’s very clear that they desperately need to (evidenced by, oh let’s say, Tom DeLay).
