San Diego Democrats Won’t Ask Filner to Step Down

A “deeply divided” San Diego County Democratic Party “decided not to join the mounting calls for Mayor Bob Filner’s resignation over sexual harassment accusations as his supporters began gearing up a campaign to keep him in office,” the San Diego Union Tribune reports.

“The party’s central committee met for nearly three hours behind the closed doors… to discuss what position it should take on the embattled mayor. But the committee was deadlocked, voting 24-24.”
