Sorry, I'm not going to jump on the hang this man bandwagon, because there's simply no proof. Five of them? Fine, show them to me and this supposed sexual content. Next prove to me that he wrote the AIM messages mentioned elsewhere.
If the government gets involved and gets actual logs and records from AOL and those show that he committed a crime, then fine, but I have absolutely no reason to believe ABC or pages who may very well have an axe to grind with the guy for an entirely different reason.
Given how close the election is, why would he resign if the chat was completely made up? He knows what he wrote and didn't write and who he wrote it to.
Are you this naive? He RESIGNED.
