Craig to Hold Press Conference: Will He Resign? [2pm MDT]
ABC News ^ | August 28, 2007

Posted on 08/28/2007 12:44:58 PM PDT by mngran

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 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.

Small difference between Frank, Studds and Craig.

Has to do with the letter after the name.

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.

If he has even a shred of decency he'll resign and let Butch Otter name a replacement.

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.
