Republican Larry Craig is the senior U.S. senator from Idaho. He fell under public scrutiny for an incident in a Minnesota airport bathroom that led to his 2007 arrest for lewd conduct. Craig initially agreed to vacate his Senate seat after the press got wind of the scandal, but later reversed his decision and decided to remain in office until the end of his term, which comes in January of 2009. He will then be replaced by former Idaho governor Jim Risch.
