Wilkerson Watch: Reelection Campaign Suspended

Dianne Wilkerson's dramatic saga continues, but her reelection campaign doesn't. After clergy members and minority leaders called for the accused senator to resign, she has (according to the Globe) at least canceled her reelection campaign, but not officially resigned from the senate. Wilkerson says she'll make that decision on November 5. Already bested by Sonia Chang-Diaz in an election and a recount, Wilkerson had been planning to continue her write-in reelection campaign despite recent charges of accepting bribes. The state senate passed a resolution on Thursday asking Wilkerson to resign, and is now taking steps toward a vote to expel her.
