Top Dem: Rangel must decide alone whether to resign or face inquiry
The House's second-ranking Democrat on Tuesday said Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) will decide on his own whether to resign his seat or go forward with Thursday's ethics inquiry.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told reporters he did not know what Rangel's decision would be. The Ethics Committee on Thursday is scheduled to convene publicly to spell out its charges against the New York Democrat.

Rangel is coming under growing pressure to resign.
Rep. Walt Minnick (D-Idaho) became the second House Democrat to say the veteran New Yorker should give up his seat in a report published Monday. Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio), another vulnerable Democrat facing a difficult reelection contest, told The Hill that Rangel should resign on Friday.
Or he can...cut a deal, get his peepee whacked, and everything will be hunky dory. Which will probably be what happens. Don't forget to act "contrite", Charlie. The rubes love that...

That might happen or the donks might have a "come to Jesus" meeting with Rangel, ask him to quietly disappear and quit mucking up the November elections.

#3 If the Donks want Newt to run in 2012, then may I propose that Charlie run against him.
