His future in doubt, with allies denouncing his behavior and former staffers voicing disbelief at his arrest, Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, is expected to hold a press conference this afternoon that may answer questions about his political future.
Long dogged by rumors about his sexuality, the married and conservative three-term senator is expected to address the June 11 incident at Minneapolis Airport in which an undercover officer arrested him on charges of lewd conduct in a men's room.
Craig will give a statement this afternoon concerning his arrest at 2 p.m. Mountain Time in downtown Boise, a spokesman said. Craig's staff said he would not take questions.

“What kind of ‘man’ wears sandels with his suit?”
A poofter??
As of 4:17 EDT, not yet.
I'm late to the thread myself. I'd like to know that too and whose posts were they as well.
“Butch Otter” is one of the funniest names in the history of American governors.
He should resign immediately. It is not the fact that he is gay it is the fact that he was trolling for sex in a public bathroom. How disgusting.
I remember that congress critter from Norfolk that was busted soliciting gay sex from some gay hot line. He resigned promptly. Mark Foley did the right thing too.
I sent back today an RNC solicitation for money with a note that I will send them a check when Craig resigns...
Butch Otter is a cowboy. You’d like him, its hard not to.
I think he will resign. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a phone call this morning from either Bush or someone at the RNC asking him to do it for the party.
There’s always alcohol.
Too bad Otter can’t appoint himself. He’s EXACTLY what we need in the Senate.
I think he will resign
The bets are coming in. We shall see.
What? No rehab? ;-)
Are you trying to get me banned?
I think you might be right- particularly since he’s making a statement- not having a press conference..
No matter what he does — apologize, go into rehab, slash his wrists — you can be sure the MSM will have a weekly story about this at least until after the 2008 elections.
Coservative Republican, don’t you know.
I think he’ll announce that he’s picked up support from gay americans...they believe he’s a candidate they can really get behind...
I’ve had lunch with the guy a couple of times...this just makes me furious!!!
He resigned from Mitt Romney’s campaign not the senate.
