UPDATE: SEN. LARRY CRAIG IS NOW RECONSIDERING

HIS RESIGNATION -- Spokesperson now says, "It's

not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that

the only thing he could do was resign."

 

Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID)

 

This is so disgusting!

Senator Craig should get the message by now.

Republicans don't want him in the Senate.

Democrats don't want him for anything anywhere.

And, veterans don't want him on the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

It's time to stop this egotistical madness.

Go home, Larry Craig...and stay there!

Senator Larry Craig reconsidering resignation

After storm over sex sting in airport men's room

(Boise - AP) - Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening.

"It's not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that the only thing he could do was resign," said Sidney Smith, Craig's spokesman in Idaho's capital.

"We're still preparing as if Senator Craig will resign Sept. 30, but the outcome of the legal case in Minnesota and the ethics investigation will have an impact on whether we're able to stay in the fight - and stay in the Senate."

Craig, a Republican who has represented Idaho in Congress for 27 years, announced Saturday that he intends to resign from the Senate on Sept. 30.

But since then, he's hired a prominent lawyer to investigate the possibility of reversing his plea, his spokesman said.

Craig was a no-show Tuesday as Congress reconvened after a summer break and it wasn't clear whether he'll return at all since deciding to resign over his guilty plea in a sex sting this summer at the Minneapolis airport.

Another spokesman, Dan Whiting in Washington, said Tuesday that Craig was expected to spend the week in Idaho as the Senate votes on spending bills for veterans and other programs.

Whiting did not rule out Craig's returning to Washington before the end of the month.
