Let me understand this? Bill Clinton receives oral sex in the Oval Office and stays in office? His jilted wife is successful in becoming the carpetbag Senator from New York?

Barney Frank, an open homosexual, has a friend who he lives with who runs a prostitution ring in the basement of his home and he still reigns as a ranking Senator?

Uncle Ted is involved in the death of a young lady who he was partying with and he still remains as a Senator?

But Craig taps the foot of the dude in the next stall and MUST RESIGN?

Talk about your double standards?

Agreed. It's absolute bullcrap and I'm sadddened to see so many freepers piling on because apprently they can't figure out you don't need to "resign immediately" in order to NOT run re-election. Somehow they think if Craig remains in office, he automatically becomes a candidate for re-election and the seat will be in jeopardy or some bizarre crap like that.

Here's what Craig should do:

1) Announce that after consulting with lawyer and confident that he did nothing wrong and erred in pleading gulity to a lesser charge (due to false impressions created by the cop that he'd be on his way if he did), that he is NOT resigning his seat when the only think that's been proven against him is that he tapped his foot in a rest room stall. If the RATs complain, Craig can "remind" them all the KNOWN criminals that they continue to harbor in office.

2) Announce that due to the error of pleading "gulity" to a charge he didn't commit, Craig realizes a cloud remains over his head until he can clear his name. Craig states that due to this fact, he will NOT run for re-election next year and will not run for office again until he has cleared his name. In the meantime, he will continue to serve the people of Idaho to the best of his ability and work to gain back their trust.

3) Take his seat the next day the Senate is in session and follow through on his intentions stated in 1) and 2). Chair his committee. Introduce good bills. Make his last year in office count for something meaningful. IF Craig proves this is all a setup and it turns out to be another Mike Nifong type incident, he is welcome to run for office again in 2010. In the meantime, due to Craig NOT resigning, Idaho Republican voters are free to pick the best person they can in the 2008 GOP primary to represent them in the U.S. Senate -- rather than take a gamble and "trust" the Governor will appoint the right person.

The Democratic Party is the Party of deviants, the GOP isn't suppose to be.

That is why Guianni will never get the normination, no one wants a guy who wore drag to be President.
