I don’t know why so many Freepers thought this guy would skate from this. Anything smacking of racism is the gravest possible sin amongst Democrats.

The only reason he is toast is that the election season has started, and candidates have to one up each other flogging him. If it weren't an election year, they would rally around him, the media would let it slide, and we'd forget about it in a day.

Not only that but expect that within minutes of his impending resignation dems and their media accomplices cite it as the left “having no tolerance for racism, while the right is silent on the racism in and at the top of their party”.

I don't know. Racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, are all now the very lifeblood of the Democrats. They literally live and breathe identity politics.

I think Northam would be toast even in an off year.
