McConnell for Majority Leader. He's playing the best hand throughout all of this.

"McConnell for Majority Leader. He's playing the best hand throughout all of this."

What a load of crap. McConnell, Santorum and Frist have all been AWOL on calling for Lott's ouster. Nickles call for Lott's head was a very courageous thing to do. To sit back and let Nickles hang out there all by himself when McConnell knew it was the right to do do is despicable and certainly shows ZERO leadership. Calling for Byrd's censure is the politics of a coward. We conservatives didn't like it when liberals shouted "everybody does it" when Clinton was in trouble; now all of a sudden we're all for it? Crap. Crap. Crap. If there wasn't such pathetic fear and equivocation in the Senate GOP Caucus, Lott would have stepped down by now...

You might want to do a little more homework on the financial associations of Mr. McConnell.

Good to see it but it does not solve the problem at hand does it?

McConnell is supporting Lott. He knows he wouldn't be able to keep the RINOs on board himself, plus the Senate is all about personal loyalties and trust.
