[Polybius]

He's bluffing. If he resigns his leadership position but stays in the Senate, he may someday achieve political redemption. If he resigns from everything, he returns home in political disgrace - bye, bye future high dollar lobbyist position - and remembered by the voters of his state and the rest of the country as the one who trashed the hard work, prayers etc. that brought about the Republican victories on November 5th.

Never underestimate an egotistical fool's capacity for self-destruction.

[Let's Roll]

You could be right - he probably isn't intelligent enough to see that his best course is to resign the ML and stick with the senate. And he never minded selling out the country and his fellow pubs before. Just one more example of why it is SO important to elect more principled individuals than we have been doing lately.
