As Twitchy reported, Eric Holder is set to step down as U.S. Attorney General. Which has some tweeters wondering, why now?
Well and good but I’m wanting to know WHY Holder's resigning.

Maybe we should ask Holder. On second thought:

Well, he’s not terribly perceptive …
Don't ask Holder why he's leaving; he probably doesn't know (roundup from 2013 of his "I don't knows") http://t.co/evDhJMI1kb via @YouTube

Holder himself may not be a great source, but these folks could be on to something:
As per my last RT, Holder resigning is evidence that Democrats know they're going to lose the Senate.

Holder may be resigning before the Republicans take over the Senate. Giving Obama the chance to replace a Holder clone.#tcot #UniteBlue

I take Holder's resignation to mean Obama believes the Democrats will lose the Senate.

Holder's resignation is probably a sign that Obama is worried about losing the Senate. You wants an AG who can be confirmed by Democrats

Holder’s resignation is more proof Democrats know they are losing the Senate. They hope to confirm a new AG before 01/2015 #tcot #wiunion

With Holder's resignation, it's safe to say Obama did not give a "vote of confidence" in the Dem's chances of holding the Senate.
