Ensign Calls On Stevens To Resign

And the chorus grows louder.

NRSC Chairman John Ensign is the latest Republican to call for the resignation of convicted Sen. Ted Stevens.

"Sen. Stevens should do the right thing and resign," Ensign said in an interview Wednesday afternoon with MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell.

"The statesman-like thing for Sen. Stevens would be to resign," he continued. "I'd like to see a special election in the state of Alaska, so they can actually choose between a Republican and Democrat."
