For crying out loud, not Lott! He's an idiot, and doesn't have the guts to stand up to the Dem's. Please not him.

I am thinking Lott would be better than LaMar Alexander, no?

I think Lamar Alexander is supposed to be just as bad if not worse.

He's the best, IMO.

Articulate and likable.

Agreed - he's a bit of a tree hugger.

Have we still not learned our lesson about these guys.

I'd like to see some young blood come in and replace these old "deal makers".

The house will elect great leadership. Its the Senate that got us into this problem and will continue to be a cancer to concervatives.
We must look for two qualities in a leader. Uncompromising conservatism and a tough personality to stand up to the terroristic tactics of the Dems. McConnel is lacking the tough personality and Alexander is lacking both. I believe that he voted for amnesty. John Kyle and Tom Coburn would be better.

The Republicans have shown no ability to act as or use either the majority or minority Whip positions. I have never seen renegade senators (i.e.; McCain, Chaffee, or Spectre) stripped of committee positions or chairmanships, reassigned to least favorable office space and accommodations, or had their operating budgets curtailed. Whoever it is won't make a bit of difference until the leadership grows a pair.

Lott, the king of pork. Alexander will just bore everyone to death. This is the best we can do?
