this may not be a popular stance and I may get some responses, but I am glad to see Sen Frankin go out this way. Not that I wanted him to go at all, but now he left (not quite on his own terms), but has the ability to run again. If he had stayed, and had a REPUBLICAN lead ethic committee hearing, there may have been a chance they could have kicked him out completely. Now he can clear his name, and run again, maybe even for VP or Pres.... Keep you head up Senator Frankin..... many are behind you.
