WASHINGTON Idaho Sen. Larry Craig will resign from the Senate Saturday after pressure from fellow Republicans to step down after an arrest in a men's room sex sting, according to a report. Craig decided to resign with plans to make the announcement on Saturday, the Associated Press reported. Craig will hold a news conference in Boise on Saturday, his spokesman, Dan Whiting said, but he would not say whether the three-term senator planned to step down. Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter, however, appeared to have settled on a successor: Lt. Gov. Jim Risch, according to several Republicans familiar with internal deliberations.

At the restaurant where I ate lunch today, they had on CNN. In the span of 35 minutes, about 20 of them were spent on Craig. Not a peep about the Clinton-Chicom Connection

Waiting for “Cold Cash” Jefferson to do the same.
While the Dems are trying to look perfect, Republicans should be beating them over the head with this one.
See, Jefferson is a “useful idiot.”

Exactly. We have high standards. That's something worth upholding. The MSM and Democrats can take their double standard and shove it where the sun don't shine.

The Governor — Butch Otter (R). There will be a special election to fill the remainder of the term at the time of the next regularly scheduled statewide election — Nov. 2008 at the latest...I don’t see how it could be any earlier than that...)
To: BallyBill
I cannot read anymore about this. It sickens me. I realize the MSM is piling on and is very gleeful about the situation. But the GOP has got to put their house in order.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Good decision.
I hope he seeks spiritual, as does his family. There is alot of pain in the Craig family right now.
He needs to come to terms with his sins and those he deceived.
Christ always offers redemption for those who seek Him.

What was the criminal act that justified his arrest?
Was he smoking a cigar?
