On December 10, 50 Democratic senators signed a letter calling for
Blagojevich to resign, and were roundly applauded for it. Now, many people want the senators to ignore their previous action and do Blago's bidding? Would that not indicate a lack of spine, and wouldn't they be roundly criticized for going back on their word? We can't have it both ways.

Senate Democrats unanimously call on Blagojevich to resign.»

Huffington Post’s Sam Stein reports that all 50 members of the Democratic Senate caucus have signed Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) letter calling on Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) to “step down from his post and refrain from appointing anyone to the vacated Illinois Senate seat.” The signatories include Vice President-elect Joe Biden and Secretary of State nominee Hillary Clinton. President-elect Barack Obama has also called on Blagojevich to step down.
