To resign just from his position as majority leader, or from his Senate seat entirely? He just go re-elected last year, so I don't see him resigning. Plus the current governor of Kentucky is a Democrat, so if he were to resign and leave a vacancy while Beshear is still governor (and he won't be for long, he's term limited and the election to replace him is this November), then he'd likely be temporarily replaced by a Democrat until the special election is held.
@whipassmt: Yeah, living in Spain though born in California. In this case, however, it's likely due to me being too young to get that reference :P
Yeah, it was from a few decades ago. I think you're older than me, but my father likes Sanford and Son so I've seen some episodes of it on TV Land and Youtube.
@itsmejenni: 15-18 (and possibly older) is an interesting time. The work you are given to do at school doesn't really pay off in a tangible way. Oh sure you get a letter grade at the end of it, but you don't get o see the real fruit of your labours for another several years down the road (a good job, a home, a social life etc). The adult world is loaded with work that comes with more immediate payoffs such as checks, vacations, nice dinners, among other things. However when you have to wait years just to get to these things as a kid it's really easy to lose sight of what you are working towards. I imagine that if adults were told that they have to work for a good 10-14 years before we can get the payoff we would likely find ourselves easily distracted by video games and other, ultimately meaningless, activities as well.
Unfortunately I don't have solutions for you, just (hopefully) perspective.
