Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) called an unscheduled senior staff meeting Sunday night just before the start of the Super Bowl, as the governor considered resigning after two days of defiance amid a controversy over a racist photo in his medical school yearbook.
People familiar with the meeting said the governor had not reached a decision. It was unclear who was present, but the group included senior staffers of color. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D), who would become governor if Northam resigned, was not there, the people said.
Calling the Sunday night meeting was a clear signal of Northam’s effort to weigh support within the administration as he evaluates his options. Although he pledged on Saturday to stand his ground, he also said he would reconsider if he thought he could no longer be effective. Just a day later, resignation is an active consideration, the people said.

Which color?
The pressure is now so intense Northam does not know what to do. He is being shown the door and I doubt he has any choice at this point. So Monday or Tuesday look for the big announcement.
On the one hand, I don't care for his punk ass--and I love the schadenfreude. On the other hand, I want to stop the lynch mobs. Taking the long view, is a 35 year old yearbook photo really a reflection of who this guy is? After all, you could not tell from that photo that he would eventually back infanticide.
Too many Dems joining the chorus. I think he’s done.
Oh how I love to see this Marxist Baby Killer twisting in the wind. He should loose his medical license as well.
What happened to the idea of using facial recognition tools to prove it isn’t him in the photo? Weren’t we going to have a complete investigation?
Gotta fall on the sword to change the conversation away from child murder.
“Person of color” is a polite way of saying “nonwhite person”.
That’s probably true.
White is a color.
DON”T!
Fairfax is worse scum.
They’re basically telling him that he faces impeachment if he tries to stay in office.
Is he being kept comfortable?
They may consider having Coonman try on the Klansman’s hood. Then, if it doesn’t fit, we must acquit.
Actually, Tuesday evening during the SOTU or first thing Wednesday morning is my bet. Anything to drown out coverage of Trump's message to America. This has been a custom made wag the dog type of event designed just for this purpose.

Evidently, it all quickly ended up in the same place as OJ’s promise to find Nicole’s killer.
So I guess we need to look at Fairfax’s year books?
