Sen. Larry Craig is planning to make a public statement this afternoon in Boise, at 2:30 p.m. Mountain time. Spokesman Sid Smith said, “In a situation like this, not only the media but Idahoans want to hear from Sen. Craig directly.” It won’t be just a repetition of the previous brief statement he sent out, Smith said. But in response to my question, Smith also said Craig is not going to making any announcement regarding his office or re-election plans. “He is going to stick to his time frame of September, making that announcement,” Smith said.
