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.

“I think that he will resign.”

I agree.

Shouldn’t that be “Surrender friend of Dorothy”?

A bit of advice to the journalists attending. Don’t use restrooms near Larry’s office.

That's why David Vitter can still get re-elected.

I think it is also a bit of the Dead Girl/Live Boy thing. Of course, even the Dead Girl is not an impediment, if you happen to be a Kennedy.

He won’t resign and work hard to get re-erected.

Even if it means knocking on every (bathroom) door in the state.

I agree he won’t resign. And he may even work hard to get re-elected.

However, the voters in Idaho, a conservative state won’t re-elect him.

And his staunch support of open borders won’t get him much conservative support either. Will his strong NRA be enough to get him re-elected?
NO.

It’s tough when a distinguished career comes to an end and all that’s left is to be the butt of jokes.

Has he started his press conference yet? Or is he still “stalling?”

A little time still to get my Bet in.
It will be “ Umm. I’m not gay. I sat down and the guy next to me was looking at me through the crack in the door. So I looked back. Then, I was a bit nervous because of the freak looking at me through the door, so I started tapping my foot somewhat anxiously while I tried to get my business done. I sure was glad I brought my bag into the stall. There were strange people afoot in this bathroom. He kept looking, so I cleared my throat a few times ( VERY nervous now) , and then showed me some sort of ID through the door and asked me to come out. I said no, until I realized , “ I think this guy might be a police officer”
Why oh why would someone want to slander me in a bathroom?”
then, after tapping his finger on his cheek a few times he might say “ hmm. Democrats who couldnt win an election in Idaho if they bribed everyone MIGHT want to take me out”
wierd.

I imagine they're still going to use their hands.
