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.

I’m sure he just wants to get something straight.

Lets see if he goes for the old “depends on what is is” defense.
To: mngran
Craig must resign from the Senate immediately.
Then Governor Otter should appoint Lt. Gov. Jim Risch to finish Craigs term.
That will end the story and the humiliation to Craig and minimize the damage to the GOP. It will also give Risch a huge advantage going into the election and take the issue of Craigs personal conduct off the table for the Democrats.
If Craig doesnt step down, then that proves he doesnt care what serious harm his behavior brings to the Republican party, and therefore it is up to the GOP to protect themselves and force him out without delay.

I hope he is wearing depends, and resigns, the turn coat.

Hope he resigns. There's no excuse for his sick behavior. None at all.
I expect, however, that he won't. Guys in his position and mental state think that they can just say "sorry" and get on with it. Heck, it worked for Bawney Fwank and Garry Studds.

Shall we take bets that he:
a) blames it on someone else.
b) blames it on society.
c) denies everything and claims a conspiracy.
d) announces that he’s found Jesus.

I hope he has the decency to not drag his wife on stage like McGreevy and Vitter. I think he has humiliated her, his kids and his grandkids enough.

Or:
e) Utters the phrase: “I am a gay American.”
