Sen. Craig may not resign, spokesman says

BOISE, Idaho - Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening.

“It’s not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that the only thing he could do was resign,” Sidney Smith, Craig’s spokesman in Idaho’s capital, told The Associated Press.

“We’re still preparing as if Sen. Craig will resign Sept. 30, but the outcome of the legal case in Minnesota and the ethics investigation will have an impact on whether we’re able to stay in the fight — and stay in the Senate,” Smith said.

Please don't resign. Man the crap we can use from this until 2008 elections.

1. His predicament is rather sad but ironic. If he can withdraw

his guilty plea, go to trial and win, he need not resign. Let the court decide who is telling the truth, Larry Craig or the arresting officer.

If he doesn't resign, the vultures in the press will probably hound him and make his life so miserable that he will wish he quit. Had he not voted in such a bigoted way, I would feel very sorry for him in his predicament.
