Today's GOP Follies

Today's GOP Follies

Gonzales gone -- does it really matter when the fish rots from the head? Team Bush will name someone equally prone to evil, and just enough Dems will cave to imaginary fears.

Much more interesting is Idaho GOP Sen. Larry Craig getting busted in a cruise bathroom at the Minneapolis airport. It happened in June but the news came out (heh) today. Retirement rumors have been floating for a while, now we know why. There have also been deep-closet rumors for a long time -- Kos says the Idaho Statesman spiked an outing story (UPDATE: Now published in the wake of the arrest). The Dems have a first tier challenger in ex-Rep. Larry LaRocco, a Democrat who was actually able to win in Idaho. Craig will probably be pushed aside now for the sitting Lt. Gov. Jim Risch who was considering a primary challenge anyway.

Speaking of sitting, Iowa Voters reports on a new ballot security system in New Hampshire: literally sitting on the ballots.
