Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, who has been embattled lately because of his scandal in an airport bathroom, will announce tomorrow he will resign as a U.S. Senator from Idaho. This comes after the Republican Party's push to force him out of office. Presidential Candidates Mitt Romney and John McCain, the RNC, Sen. Norm Coleman, and even the White House have asked for Craig's resignation. Now that Craig is out of office, Idaho moves out of the danger zone of turning Democratic and the seat up for election in 2008 should remain GOP. Several were worried that if Criag remained in office and was somehow remoninated by the Idaho GOP that this republican seat would go Democratic. However there is no doubt that the seat will remain in the GOP's corner. Possible replacements for Sen. Craig include: Lt. Governor Jim Risch, State Treasurer Ron Crane, U.S. Congressman Bill Sali and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden. Former Congressman Larry LaRocco is currently running as a Democrat to succeed Craig. I support Craig's withdrawal from the senate, because of his denial of the Late Craig Thomas's Memorial Bill on National Parks. Thomas as I have previously stated was my senator and I knew that that bill meant alot to him. Craig is irresonsible and shouldn't of even been in any criminal circumstance as a U.S. Senator.
