~~Tells him it's over.~~ (See, UPDATE II) :(

I've got a very reliable source who tells me he's heard that the Governor's office may have privately called for Dann's resignation.

Now I'm getting this third-hand, so I'm waiting for some primary sourcing. However, my source rates the rumor as an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being on the low end of reliability) on reliability, and he's been very reliable in past, so it's questionable.

God, I hope it's true.

"Marc Dann, you're fired."

[UPDATE]: Russo has a lil' nugget of his own to add to this. Supposedly, Dann's wife is opposed to his resignation. I've heard this story before-- Elliot Spitzer ring a bell?

[UPDATE II]: I just got off the phone with someone that I'd expect to have knowledge about it in the party, and that person told me this has been a Statehouse rumor for some time, but that it's simply not happened. An unqualified denial on the story.

Still hoping that it happens, though.
