Craig is Going, Going and, You Say, a Goner

A big majority of you — 73% against 27% — think Sen. Larry Craig’s last ditch efforts to save his political career will fail. Those percentages represent the No/Yes breakdown in our last Quick Poll! We asked whether you thought Craig would still be a U.S. senator after Sept. 30. Shortly after he announced that he would step down on that date, he began to have second thoughts and started saying it was merely his intention to do so, not an absolute promise. He then launched an effort to reverse his guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge after being caught in a police sex sting at Minneapolis airport. Now he has a hearing. Who knows where that will go? Either way, you’re confident he won’t be a federal lawmaker by the end of the month.
