Kind of anticlimactic and buried on Labor Day weekend but there it is.

He said Saturday he will pursue legal options to clear his name, but added that the effort "would be an unwanted and unfair distraction from my job and for my Senate colleagues.

It’s now up to Idaho Governor “Butch” Otter(R) to name a replacement to finish Craig’s term which runs through 2008.
