should karl resign?

My trusty, usually infallible moral compass is failing me on the ethics of this one. A resignation should certainly not be tendered because the dems didn't get the bloodletting they were hoping for when only Libby was indicted, and certainly not because of any speculation on what exactly his lawyer offered to Fitzgerald.

But maybe because of W's strong stance on saying that anyone connected to a leak would be history, and maybe because Karl's really not needed in this White House any longer. Karl's greatest genius is in orchestrating elections, not necessarily in developing programs or policy. Indubitably, we're in the very predictable second term doldrums, and without a doubt, this White House admin needs some new ideas and new faces. If a shake up replaced Karl with say, Ken Mehlman, Karl would be free to begin orchestrating the next winning presidential campaign, perhaps best behind the scenes as he waits to find out when and on whom Fitz will drop the other shoe? How do he and Condi get along? Rudi? Jeb?
