Most Republicans understand that Larry Craig is an anchor and he is pulling the Republican Party down with him. As far as I’m concerned Larry Craig and Mark Foley belong in the same sentence.

From WaPo:
Sen. Larry E. Craig (R-Idaho) vowed to serve out the remainder of his term yesterday despite losing his bid to withdraw his guilty plea for disorderly conduct in an airport men’s restroom.
Craig, who said earlier that he would resign if unable to withdraw his plea, said he is considering appealing yesterday’s decision by a Minnesota judge. The judge ruled that some of the senator’s legal arguments were “illogical.” (more…)
The Republicans have thrown Larry Craig to the lions. All they care about is appeasing the nutcases of the Religous Right.
Craig should stay in the Senate and serve out his term. Then, if he wishes to run again, it would be up to the voters of Idaho to determine his fate.
But I’m afraid that, because Idaho is a very conservative state, where anyone who is touched by even the slightest rumor of being gay, Craig won’t even be able to present his case, and he would not fare well.
Moreover, voters in the United States are largely ignorant and too emotional to make rational decisions.
I’d give him the benefit of any doubt. If he’s suffering, it’s because his party has abandoned him.
[…] Republican reaction to Larry Craig […]
Jerry –
I think that they r only focusing on … What r they focusing on?
