...Even typically reliable strongholds like Idaho and Alaska could potentially be vulnerable next year. In Idaho, McConnell has made it clear he'd prefer embattled Senator Larry Craig - who pled guilty to disorderly conduct after Minneapolis airport police accused him of attempting to solicit gay sex in an airport bathroom - to resign immediately. That would leave a vacancy for Idaho Governor Butch Otter, a Republican, to appoint someone to serve out the last 15 months of Craig's term and preserve the party's incumbent advantage...
