WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Several well-placed GOP sources in Washington and Idaho have told CNN that embattled Republican Sen. Larry Craig is likely to resign soon, possibly as early as Friday.

A GOP source with knowledge of the situation told CNN's Dana Bash that the Republican National Committee was poised to take the extraordinary step of calling on Craig to resign.

However, that move was put on hold, the source said, because top party leaders have received indications that Craig himself is preparing to step down.

Sources have confirmed that high-level meetings on the matter were being conducted in Idaho on Thursday.

Craig has been under pressure to quit since news surfaced this week that he was arrested in June at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and later pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge.

The arrest was made by an officer investigating reports of sexual behavior in an airport restroom.

if Craig resigns and everyone's on vacation, did it really bappen?

The republican party has to pressure him to resign. There were concerns, because he has a reputation as being very stubborn. But they will sacrifice him for a moment's peace.

I am down with him staying the course...

C'mon Sen. Craig! Fight, fight, fight! Keep this story alive, keep it going. We're all behind you! Er, that is, we all support you. Fight Larry, fight!

We know what that means. Do you suppose that besides being a racist -- the cop is also a homophobe with an agenda ?

:evilgrin:

Bah! I wanted him to fight this all the way to election. :(

in downtown Baghdad.

Maybe he can get a job as a permanent latrine orderly or something. He may be a tiny bit overqualified for that job though.
