Craig Changes Mind Again About Resigning

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig is apparently backtracking on his decision to resign on Sept. 30. In a statement from his office, he said, "Today was a major step in the legal effort to clear my name. The court has not issued a ruling on my motion to withdraw my guilty plea. For now, I will continue my work in the United States Senate for Idaho."

Craig appeared before a Minnesota court today to request judicial review of his guilty plea to disorderly conduct following a sex sting in an airport restroom. The judge adjourned the case until at least next week, citing his caseload.
