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.

It seems to me there’s no need for a last minute delay of a “stay the course” press conference. I think he’s going to have something important to say.
Will he come out swinging, or resign, or what?
I think my mind just vomited.
LOL! My hometown, Pocafello.
....and I’m changing political parties. Now he’s a hero.
Jim McGreevey, white courtesy phone....Jim McGreevey white courtesy phone....
He might be dyslexic and say he found Dog.
I think that he will resign.
Will he come out swinging, or resign, or what?
I think he already has come out swinging.
My guess this will be the or what.....
snicker..................
Small difference between Frank, Studds and Craig.
Has to do with the letter after the name.
Oh my.
all I can say, is IF this sort of thing goes on in public restrooms, there is no way in heck I am ever letting my 9 year old grandson use the men’s room.... EVER! It is all a shame IF this type of thing goes on... It just makes me sick, no matter what party they are affilated with.
This reminds me of pop star George Michael and his situation back in the mid 90s.
and then, remember they found George Michael in the woods having sex with that big bearded truck driver a few years back ?
My thinking is. Any lifestyle that would have you out looking for sex in the woods at 3am, or tapping around in A TOILET STAL trying to get somebody to play with your ding dong is NOT A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
resign senator.
Pocatello’s a great little town. I had Navy school outside of Idaho Falls (aka, Dullsville) and we all visited Pocatello on the weekends.
I am a Gay American
and switches to the Dem Party where he will become a ‘hero’!
THAT'S what got him into trouble in the first place!.............
My wife and I were in Boise last week and attended the Charlie Daniels concert at the Western Idaho State Fair with our son and daughter in law. We typically see Craig there and he's always introduced to the crowd by the headliner. We wondered why we didn't see him this year out mingling with his constituency. Now we know.
Just tuned into local radio (KBOI). I would imagine local would cover it.
