groups in virginia that had kind of held back on asking the governor to resign was the virginia democratic party. their chairperson is susan swecker, a very prominent democratic leader in virginia. they apparently had some sort of a meeting with the governor this morning where he informed them that he was not going to resign and they took the remarkable step of put out a statement saying that they disagree with the governor's decision here not to resign and that they believe he should still resign. so, you know, what we're told, fred, is that he's going to come out and make a statement. they've said nothing about him answering questions. i think this is going to be -- yeah, it's going to be a very important thing to see how he handles this. that's going to play a big part in how long he's able to stay in his position. >> that would be remarkable, if he doesn't take questions, after inviting reporters and photographers to come into the mansion to hear the statement. and naturally he has to expect there is going to be a question that says, if in that 30-year span between 1984 and
