And now, Larry Craig is considering a take-back on his offer to resign, thinking that he may be able to grease the wheels and get the charge dismissed back in Minnesota, which would nullify the “guilty” plea.

Well, at least since he now has Arlen Specter on his side as his “cloakroom lawyer”. Sen. Specter is hardly the ‘go-to’ guy that conservative Republicans should be talking to on resolving problems, though.

Larry Craig’s best course, if he is going to tough it out, is to renounce his membership in the Republican party, and do a “Jim Jeffords” straddle. Not quite a Democratican, but certainly no longer a Republican.

Then he could accept Sen. Specter’s assistance in good faith.

Sen’ Specter does NOT have the best interests of the Republican party in mind. Otherwise, he would have jumped in to help out Rick Santorum.

Didn't Specter campaign for Santorum? I know Santorum backed Specter in '04.
