I happened to just turn on the television as Sen. Larry Craig announced his resignation from the U.S. Senate. He handled it quite well. He obviously maintains his innocence, but his guilty plea severely limits his legal options. Resignation was the right choice for him and for his constituents.

You know, I had been wondering all this time what this reminds me of. Just now it came to me: Joe Klein’s book, The Running Mate, sequel of sorts to Primary Colors. I am sure you have read it. The central idea of both these books, it seems to me, is that in politics, it is anything but politics that decides how things go for you… I have a strange feeling that Klein may be right there, after all.
