I don't doubt this is politics, and that if Democrats weren't gearing up for this, they would have tried to salvage Franken instead of sacrifice him. That being said, while the motives may not have been exactly pure, I still support the motion. Democrats have held their own accountable, and have called for republicans to do the same. Those calls have been ignored, mocked, or spun. Republicans only seem interested in Democratic offenders, while doing everything they can to deflect and distract away from their own.
Even if you know it's all politics, you can't deny the corner Republicans have painted themselves into. It wouldn't be nearly so bad without Moore in the picture, even if he wins today it'll come at a steep price. Should be a good show if it happens, I imagine the Twittersphere will tremble, if it isn't already.
