Here’s an interesting theory: Could the big, united GOP push for Jim Risch for U.S. Senate be designed to push current Sen. Larry
Craig toward resigning after all? If Risch were appointed to the seat, he’d come into the 2008 race with an edge, gaining seniority and running as an incumbent in what’s now expected to be a nationally watched and hotly contested race for an open seat. “I’m wondering if this might serve that function,” said Jim Weatherby, BSU political scientist emeritus. “That may or may not be the intended result, but that has to be on people’s minds. I think the question that comes to most of us observers of politics in Idaho is how long can this Craig saga continue?”/
