as far as rescinding his resignation that would be a huge mistake

Absolutely.

That adage about when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Craig has already set 2 significant events in motion: his original admission of guilt and his intent to resign. Those would now be difficult to overcome.

LOL. Shrum says Clinton has redifined change as nostalgia.

Exactly!

... Craig has already set 2 significant events in motion: his original admission of guilt and his intent to resign. Those would now be difficult to overcome.

I'll repeat an important point.  Craig has not admitted to cruising for sex, gay or otherwise.  He accepted a misdemeanor "disorderly conduct" deal and paid a fine in order to avoid a public trial and make the issue "go away."  That is a political calculation, however mistaken, but is not an "admission of guilt" in the sense that it is being spun.  He continues to insist that he's not gay and wasn't doing what the cop claims he was doing.  Listen to the taped police "interview."  IMO it's how someone who was innocent would react to being caught up in such an absurd situation, particularly someone who has been targeted by gay activists for years with accusations that he was "secretly gay."

I'm a contrarian by nature.  I have a great fondness for a line delivered by James Mason in Heaven Can Wait (the 1978 one, not the one from the 40s):

"The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity with which others are trying to prove him wrong."

That has always had the ring of truth to me. 

Having said that, there's no way Craig will ever be able to clear his name even if he is innocent.
