James Bond: DFO: I am disappointed that you or Betsy is not at the hearing. I understand the judge has put the clamps down on live reporting, but still ... Is any media in Idaho there?

AP reporter Joshua Freed in Minneapolis reports that media presence is heavy outside the courthouse in suburban Edina, Minn. where Idaho Sen. Larry Craig’s lawyers are about to try to persuade a judge to let Craig withdraw his guilty plea in a sex solicitation sting. About a dozen TV cameras and a media tent are set up in the courthouse parking lot/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. Full post here.

Question: Do you think it's important to have an Idaho media presence at the Minneapolis hearing today?
