tell us about congressman wu's reputation before this story surfaced. >> congressman wu has been in officeterms, and is well known to people here in portland. he's always been a bit of a character. his issues have not necessarily been in the mainstream. he cares deeply about technology and has been outspoken on issues involving china, of course, because he was the first chinese-american elected to congress. but i think in general, people here -- he's in a pretty safe democratic district. the republicans haven't mounted particularly effective candidates to oppose him and he's coasted to re-election. people here justly like david wu, i think. but i don't think anybody would tell you he's the most effective congressman that's ever represented the portland metropolitan area. >> members of his staff has expressed concern over what they would call erratic behavior. wu himself admitted that he's gone into mental health counseling. do you think ice likely that he'll resign? >> well, we're reporting this morning that he's at least hinted to senior members of the house minority that he might conside

embattled democrat, david wu, of oregon a decision to resign. motivated from a significant push from senators murkily and widen. and an after wu did not return their calls, his chief of staff notified they would republican call for his resignation. the statement read in part. accusations against david wu are both jarring and exspgs nahle serious. we believe exno longer be an effective representative for constituents and should in the best interest of oregon step down. wu did confide in fellow house members after allegations surfaced he engaged in an unwanted sexual encounter with a teenager who graduated from high school last year. after reportedly telling some of his staff the encounter was consensual. his colleagues were discrete. >> i know he's got two small children so i was concerned that they're good. >> citing the well-being of his children. wu says in a statement, i cannot care for my family the way i wish wliel serving in congress and fighting these serious allegations. i therefore resign acceptance on the resolution of the debt ceiling

now that wu announced he was out, what happens to his congressional seat in oregon.to the governor's office, trying to figure out the options for a special election. don't have anything on that. we don't know when his last day will be due to the uncertainty of the debt limit debate. this is a district wu won by double digits so there's a reasonable chance democrats can be optimistic. now that he's out of the way, they can hold onto the seat, randi. >> i want to ask what's going on with capitol hill. i would imagine phone lines heating up after president obama spoke and urged people to call their congressmen to get this debt ceiling mess fixed up. >> a lot of calls, e-mails to the capital complex. personally tried a few times on the capital operator line, couldn't get through. turns out that was the experience for a lot of people. so much so congressional offices are being advised to provide district offices telephone numbers so constituents can call the office back home, if you will, in order to get through to the congressman, congresswoman or their staff. so got to
