re: At this point Northam should just tell everyone to GFY.

The argument you’re making is that nobody can force anybody else to do anything. Yeah, you can put a gun to my head, but you still can’t force me to do what you want me to do. You’ll just have to kill me.

We know that already.

The point is, how badly does he want to be governor? Badly enough to withstand the pressure he’s going to face? His family? Does the position of Governor of Virginia even pay that much?

And when it’s all said and done, if he’s still intransigent about it all, the legislature can just go ahead and impeach him as being unfit to hold the office. He wouldn’t survive that.

Well, how's The Gov doing this week?

Everyone was quick to say how he couldn't survive, back when the Dems appeared to have a rising star to slide into the governor's chair. Now that all three of the top Dems are tainted, the obvious truth is that if one goes, they all have to go, which gives the governorship to the Republicans.

The argument that "no one will work with Northam"? Well, so much for that. That was back when everyone assumed that Fairfax would just slide right in.

And who cares?

Zero threads on the first page here. But more telling...zero articles on the front page of Richmond.com, other than one article halfway down about a potential investigation into Wilcox by the Va. Assembly. Zero articles about Northam.

Looks like he survived the initial media onslaught and the Twitter mob, and it's looking increasingly likely that he isn't going anywhere.
