The only way Democrats can steal this senate seat is with Craig as the nominee.
He needs to step down.
Now if there is a provable known history then that is another thing but I didn’t hear an acknowledgment of solicitation out of anything, what I did hear was a willingness to pay a fine and get on the next plane.
Then again I really would not know how to know if what has been described as breaking whatever law there is said to have been broken.
If Larry Craig refuses to resign, than I wonder if he’s being blackmailed to stay where he is?
He should have known better. If he needed “relief” that badly, there were many ways he could have done so discreetly. But he was seeking sex in a public place, where he could have been stumbled upon by innocent bystanders, including minors.
Stepping down has nothing to do with who the GOP nominates.
He should decline to run for re-election while this is still up in the air and be allowed to serve out the remainer of his Senate term. If this turns out to be a lot of hot air and the charges are dismissed against Craig, he can run for office in the future.
He should NOT be forced to resign his seat prior to Jan. 2009 unless it is PROVEN that he lied and covered up criminal sexual actions.
