I don't know if that means to step down from the election or to resign from the Senate. From what asaris quoted those could mean two very different things. It's kind of funny that Palin still refuses to comment on what she believes should happen.
To me this illustrates a problem with McCain. I think Steven's should have the opportunity to address the issue publicly before politicians start using the conviction for political fodder. Give the man a day or two to digest the conviction, decide what he is going to do, and announce it. If I were Steven's I would call a press conference and come clean, admit wrong doing, resign from the Senate, stop the campaign, and accept punishment with whatever honor he has left. McCain making political points on this is classless in my view. Hence another reason why I like Palin.
