PASCAGOULA, Miss. -- Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., says he is running for a fourth term this year, a decision that ends months of speculation on the Mississippi political scene.
Lott, 64, told a hometown crowd Tuesday that he wants to continue working on federal issues related to Mississippi's recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
The former Senate majority leader also has hinted that he might seek another leadership position in Washington.
Lott was first elected to the U.S. House in 1972 and to the Senate in 1988.

Unbounded joy over here. Way to go, Chester.
Is he still trying to get his insurance company to rebuild his walk-in wig closet? Get out of the closet, Chester!

If you want the Republicans to defend an
open seat with a very strong Dem candidate
then it's bad news.

I would classify this news as "better than the alternative" which meant a pickup for the Rats. Lott may be a spineless wimp, but he's our spineless wimp.

Lott seemed ineffective as Majority leader, and was too politically correct in all the groveling he did over the Stom Thurman remarks. He did not appear to be conservative enough either.
