Senator Craig needs to just go home and call it quits. No matter the truth behind what happened the fact remains that you pleaded guilty, I’m sorry that you seem to regret doing so but you need to stop embarrassing yourself and your party and just call it quits. The GOP does not need you hovering around making things worse, the longer you are in the publics eye the worse it will get. What is the point? You’re disgraced, your name is ruined forever, again I say; just call it quits Mr. Craig!

“I have seen that it is possible for me to work here effectively,” Craig said in a written statement certain to disappoint fellow Republicans who have long urged him to step down.

No, you can’t. No body has any respect left for you. No matter how slanted the truth is you fessed up and said “Ok I’m guilty,” that usually means you threw in the towel and gave up. Instead you’re dragging you’re feet around selfishly, why can’t people in Government learn when to give up? No surprise here, sad that he decided to continue this shameful exercise.

Craig had earlier announced he would resign his seat by Sept. 30, but had wavered when he went to court in hopes of withdrawing his plea.

The third-term lawmaker issued his statement not long after Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter relayed word he has selected a replacement for Craig in the event of a resignation.

“He is ready to act should we receive a letter of resignation,” said Jon Hanian, Otter’s spokesman in Boise, in what seemed like a calculated signal that home-state Republicans want Craig to surrender the seat he has held for 17 years.

In his statement, Craig said he will not run for a new term next year.

But in the meantime, he said: “I will continue my effort to clear my name in the Senate Ethics Committee—something that is not possible if I am not serving in the Senate.”
