What do the people of Idaho think? Usually, they are such low key people that we never hear from them.
I don’t know what they think
I think he still has a lot of support in Idaho. It would appear that he is finally getting some decent legal advice.
You go Larry (and I mean go to court, not go as in resign from the Senate)!
All they have on him is a couple of toe taps and hand movements - - no dialogue, nothing. Zip, nada, zilch.
He was entrapped, and possibly harrassed and hounded into the guilty plea (and probably told in the process ‘just do this and it will all go away’) so he mailed in the signed plea... Duh! Too bad he did not lawyer up on the spot.
He is going to be cleared in the court soon and should not knuckle under and/or resign under pressure in September... Later maybe? But not now.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but this Idahoan was glad he was on his way out. He sold us out re: immigration. I wasn’t going to vote for him again if he chose to run as incumbent.
Jim Risch did more for the state in the few months he spent as interim governor than anyone else who’s been in that spot for years. I was excited to think he might be appointed to fill Craig’s spot.
If he manages to stay in office and even get his charges
taken away (doubtful), etc., and runs for re-election,
the voters will let us know what they (now) think of him.

sick of him”—Howie Carr
I’m from Idaho, have lunched with Craig, have b.s.ed with him at the airport in Idaho Falls, and I want him gone!!!!
We low-keyed Idaho types expect more of or congress critters than trolling for sex in bathrooms...we expect them to get a motel.
