GOP Troubles Continue as Sen. Craig Reconsiders Resigning

The rumors were out on the Internet over the last two days that Sen. Larry Craig was reconsidering his decision to resign from the Senate due to his arrest for an incident in a airport bathroom in Minneapolis. Now, Politico has two stories up on about Craig's resignation. This report, put up on September 4, 2007, confirms that Craig is looking at his options. This report, also put up on September 4, 2007, points out that his GOP colleagues aren't happy with this turn of events.

One of the problems for the GOP Senate leadership is that the longer this takes to resolve, the more people are going to raise the question about why the difference in treatment between Sen. David Vitter from Louisiana and Sen. Craig from Idaho. Reporters raised this issue yesterday with McConnell, according to this story posted on Politico on September 4, 2007. The situation involving Craig will be interesting to watch over the next few days.
