   @evan I said no, but I guess it depends on the disgrace. If I resign to concentrate on defending myself against unjust accusations, and then I'm cleared, I should. But then "You'll see, I'm innocent" is hardly resigning in disgrace.

     @dneary @colindean Uh, can everyone in this conversation, in the spirit of transparency, reveal any potential conflicts of interest? I'll go first: my last name is not "Dean".

     @colindean @evan Dean never resigned in disgrace from anything! I think moving so far away from the 50 State strategy during the Obama administration, under the direction of Rahm Emmanuel, with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as the DNC chair, was a massive long term strategic mistake.

     @dneary @evan Franken is exactly who I think of in question contexts such as this.

     Howard Dean is another ridiculous example, his exuberance was outside the Overton window! A scream of excitement! Joy being the irrational behavior extinguishing a candidacy. Oh how silly were the Dems 20 years ago. Although his exit was not a resignation.

     @evan Al Franken might be the poster child for this. I would like to see him in office again, and felt he was the victim of a moment. I do not think he *will* run for anything again, though, and if he did, it would be a difficult campaign.

     @evan @dneary hahaha Howard is of no relation to me!

     Although I did find this week my backpack from college 20+ yrs ago that prominently had a Dean button on it more out of the novelty of having my name on something then outward support
