The headline? Those are two presidential tickets you won't be seeing come 2008.
The Romney campaign has disappeared a video from his YouTube channel of Senator Craig, Republican of Idaho, praising Mitt Romney. Mr. Craig, currently caught up in an embarrassing scandal involving his alleged solicitation of sex in an airport bathroom, had been heading up Mr. Romney's effort to woo Republican senators. Mr. Craig left his position with the campaign today, in order not to be a distraction.
Candidates might just want to forgo senate endorsements entirely from now on.
Just ask Rudy Giuliani. Mr. Giuliani snagged what looked like a great southern endorsement from Senator Vitter of Louisiana — only for Mr. Vitter to get caught up in the D.C. madam scandal and admit to soliciting prostitution.
Or ask John McCain. Florida state rep Bob Allen was co-chairing his Sunshine State campaign — that is before Mr. Allen was arrested for (allegedly) soliciting sex in a restroom from a police officer.
UPDATE I (10:56 p.m.): The video the Romney campaign pulled.
