US senator may not resign over sex scandal

US SENATOR Larry Craig says he is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his senate seat, his spokesman said.

Since announcing on Saturday he intended to resign on September 30, the Republican politician who has represented Idaho for 27 years has hired a prominent lawyer to investigate the possibility of reversing his guilty plea.

“It’s not such a foregone conclusion anymore that the only thing he could do was resign,” said Craig’s spokesman Sidney Smith.
