It’s beginning to look like Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) is going to make as much trouble for the Republicans as Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) has for the Democrats.
I don’t think Larry Craig is going anywhere and the Larry Craig story is just not going to go away. His job pays a nice salary and all he has to do is show up for work. That story is going to be around for some time to haunt the Republicans. The Republicans may wish they hadn’t been so quick to dump him.
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) is concerned because it hurts the "family values" position of the party.
Disorderly conduct was the charge. On a scale of 1 to 10, that’s barely a one, and he’s already paid the fine. The Senate Ethics Committee would have a terribly hard job evicting Larry Craig on that charge. If he decides to stay, there’s not much they can do about it.
