Do you think Northam should resign for the good of the party and because it's the right thing to do?

34. Yes. Sounds like the environment there was not exactly

what we would want it to have been, frankly typical of strongly male dominated institutions no matter the skin color of those males. Plus, at 25 kids are finally but still outgrowing adolescence and achieving adult brain development; being called doctor in med school doesn't make them adults.

In these angry and dangerous political times, few seem to care if Northam needs to change, much less if he could, though I wonder what the millions who voted for him are thinking. Whatever. What they would want is probably completely lost in this national storm. I'm glad for his and their sake that governors only serve for a short time anyway.

I'm afraid I'm already heading for the appreciation stage for what he did do for us. Remember how thrilled and heartened we were when VA rejected Republicans in favor of Democrats? A hugely important signal for voters elsewhere. And now his significantly more liberal (!) running mate, Justin Fairfax, is likely to become VA's second black governor. So VA will move on, and so will the storm.
