Ralph Northam (D) may not know it yet, but in all likelihood he is done. Later, CBS News got a hold of Northam’s Virginia Military Institute yearbook, which listed his nickname as “Coonman.”Rarely have calls for the resignation of a high-ranking public official been so swift. The incoming head of the Democratic Governors Association went on TV to urge Northam to step aside. Anyone who stands up for Northam now has to worry how history might come to judge that decision. Northam will have lots of explaining to do, and he’ll now have that chapter of his life probed endlessly.
