Trent Lott (R-MS) will announce he's retiring today...hint..hint....
He's now being faced with staff defections.
Senator: Do what's right for the people of Idaho and quit.
From the Idaho Statesman:
The losses could further damage Craig's effectiveness, which took a hit when Senate leaders stripped him of his leadership posts after his arrest became public, said Jasper LiCalzi, chairman of the Department of Political Economy at The College of Idaho.
"The real expert in many areas, policy areas, in the senator's office is the staff, not the senator," LiCalzi said.
The latest casualty of Craig's legal woes is Jeff Schrade, who lost his job as the senator's spokesman for the Veterans Affairs Committee when Craig lost his position as ranking member.
Before Schrade, natural resources adviser Michael Freese and legislative assistant Chelsea Penrod Hickman left Craig's office.
