most democrats would love to see them resign, even if their violations wouldn't warrent expulsion. there's no way dem leadership looks forward to an ongoing ethics investigation with the election 3 months away. you want to get the bad news off the front page all at once.

having this bleed out over the next few months plays into the republican narrative.

so you have it exactly backwards. if they were republicans, i'd want them to fight it out. as they're dems, i want them gone yesterday.

I thought that's why Rangel's charges were finally brought out of committee after 2 years - now that it's right before the election, it's good PR for the GOP.

(and yes, I think Rangel has to go)
