This is calculated so they can sandbag Roy Moore when he wins next week.
Their problem, however, is that there is ZERO proof that Moore did ANYTHING - only some accusations from 40 years ago that suddenly “just popped up” because he’s a serious conservative.
Franken, on the other hand, has photographic evidence of his own sh*t behavior, and admitted it.
If Franken stayed, they don’t have a leg to stand on. And don’t be surprised if they try to put that Mudslime Ellison in in his place.
There’s going to be pressure on Dayton to name a woman, so I think it will be State Auditor Rebecca Otto, who has put in decent statewide performances (and hence will be difficult to beat in a 2018 special). If Dayton appoints Keef X, that will be an easier GOP target.
