Huckabee To Larry Craig: Time To Go

Appearing this afternoon on Fox News' Your World With Neil Cavuto, Mike Huckabee called upon Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) to resign over the airport men's room scandal:

Well, he oughtta resign. I mean, when the people of his own party there [in Idaho] ... are saying that they're gonna find a candidate against him, they're gonna help finance it, they won't support him, this opera is over. The fat lady is singing at the top of her lungs. He needs to hear the tune and step aside.

Huckabee bluntly added that Craig's continued presence is dragging down the GOP:

This is not something the Republican Party needs. It's not the entire party's fault that an individual has done something. But I think that the strong stand you're hearing from Idaho and from his colleagues in the Senate indicate that people in the Republican party know that we can't go through another in a long series of embarrassing scandals, and expect to have any hope not just for the White House but for the House, the Senate, governorships and other races in '08.

Huckabee is the second Republican presidential candidate to call for Craig's resignation, following John McCain.

There goes Huckabee preaching again. He should be running for the president of the New Life Church, not America.
