Northam just released a video that makes it clear he will NOT resign, and he will NOT quit wearing blackface!!! Just kidding, he said the first thing not the second thing.
My fellow Virginians, earlier today I released a statement apologizing for behavior in my past that falls far short of the standard you set for me when you elected me to be your governor. I believe you deserve to hear directly from me. pic.twitter.com/1rSw1oxfrX

WOW. I really thought he would resign tonight. I’m guessing there are a LOT of phone calls being made and frantic angry demands being yelled at him.
And here I am enjoying my popcorn….
Here’s a list of the liberals calling for his resignation.
UPDATE: HE IS HAVING A PRESS CONFERENCE TOMORROW.
Governor Northam is calling a press conference tomorrow morning.

Now, is he going to resign, or is he gonna do this:
Gov. Northam's weepy press conference surrounded by African Americans will be sad. Does he hold it Saturday or Monday? (He'll spend Sunday AM in an AME church.)

I’m guessing the latter…
UPDATE!!!
OK seriously, how does anyone doubt the power of the sooper? Here’s what I wrote earlier, “I’m guessing there are a LOT of phone calls being made and frantic angry demands being yelled at him.”
And here’s what was just reported:
NEWS: VA state Democrats just wrapped up an emergency conference call. Leaders concluded they cannot stand with NORTHAM after the blackface/KKK photo. More VA statements coming shortly calling for resignation.

"HE LIKELY WILL RESIGN IN THE MORNING," said a source on the call. https://t.co/18DTbnnfjJ
AND I predicted he would resign tonight or tomorrow. Seriously though.
