...a local Republican prosecutor tried to charge Franken with sexual assault in a way that might jeopardize Democrats' ability to hold that Senate seat? You can bet that Democrats would have rallied behind Franken.

Probably because a photo of him NOT touching her wouldn't qualify as sexual assault. If the photo showed him groping her, or worse, I think he would have been dropped like a bad habit.

And he was a rising star in the Dem party. He was one of the more outspoken and eloquent advocates for UHC. His arguments were clear, concise, and correct. I think he swayed a lot of folks. But he was kicked to the curb (rightly or wrongly).

If Bill had been removed, the VP would have taken over. The black eye from Clinton was already there, so I don't think that would have made much difference.
