A woman. What a surprise. Generally immune from allegations of sexual misconduct.

Slimy Al has not yet left the building...

[LouieFisk]

She has also said she will run in 2020 and not be just a “placeholder”.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Al was rooting for Roy.

Now he has to go.

[Liz]

Wonder if Tina has a photo of herself and Franken.....and where Al’s hands are?

Like clockwork.

I knew he would not actually resign unless Moore lost.

[LouieFisk]

“held positions at General Mills and Planned Parenthood.”
—
She was VP of the Minnesota PP.

[rdl6989]

Per Wikipedia she was Vice President for Planned Parenthood in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.

[marktwain]

Franken has not actually resigned yet.

Looks like Governor Dayton and Lieutenant Governor Smith are trying to push him along....

[Stingray51]

I guess I missed Franken actually resigning, as opposed to stating that he would resign in the coming weeks.

[iowamark]

Dayton-Hudson is assuming that Franken will actually resign as he promised. Perhaps this is a strategy to pressure Franken.

Tina Smith is former VP of Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, operator of a number of abortion clinics.

http://www.startribune.com/planned-parenthood-grows-stronger-in-minnesota-amid-pressure/363022001/
“”While Minnesota abortions overall have declined by 30 percent since 2000, those performed by Planned Parenthood have increased, according to records reviewed by the Star Tribune. While competing clinics have closed, Planned Parenthood has opened a $16 million headquarters in St. Paul and tripled its endowment to $30 million...

The quiet growth has made Planned Parenthood a dominant provider in the state: It performed 49 percent of elective abortions in Minnesota last year, compared to 17 percent in 2000.””

So when does this NARAL worker get sworn in?

Before or after Alabama certifies the Jones win?

This game is still Chess not checkers.

[xzins]

Unless she identifies as male. Then it can do whatever the hell it wants.

[alicewonders]

“A woman. What a surprise. Generally immune from allegations of sexual misconduct. “

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It wasn’t a surprise to Franken - this is what he said in his “resignation” speech:

“The Minnesotans deserve a senator who can focus with all HER energy on addressing the challenges they face every day.”

[Will88]

Has Stuart Smalley commented on this development yet? Unless I missed a recent, definite resignation, it sounds like the Minnesota governor might be trying to speed the non-specific resignation process along.

[Angels27]

I thought for sure they would put Kobul Keith Ellison in the seat

[DoodleDawg]

A woman. What a surprise. Generally immune from allegations of sexual misconduct.

If the male senator who is resigning is doing so due to allegations of sexual misconduct then it makes sense to appoint a woman to replace him.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Senator Opie "Tina" Smith.

[1Old Pro]

she previously worked as Dayton's chief of staff and held positions at General Mills and Planned Parenthood.

Typical liberal resume, no accomplishments and gets the job because of connections.

[Salvation]

Conyers

Franken

Who will be next?
