GOod news in the sense that it keeps the seat in R hands, and Lott is a solid conservative vote.
THe bad news is his seniority is going to put him in play for leadership positions again, and the man is a spineless wimp in that respect. He was way to ready to compromise, be bipartisan, and be cooperative. His voting record itself is solid, but he in no way has ever led the charge to get an impotant vote through.
Lott may stink, but he is 10000000000000000000000x (estimated) better than Mike Moore getting a Senate seat.
Too many "outsiders" don't understand
that OR Mississippi politics and voters.
GOOD!
MS needs help with the aftermath of Katrina.
And, we don't need the possibility of a Sen. Mike Moore.
"I was hoping for an opening for Haley Barbour."
I think that is a real possibility down the road.
If his lovely Marsha is so inclined, he may even have higher aspirations.
"Lott may be a spineless wimp, but he's our spineless wimp."
LOL!
He ain't the only one, either. ;o)
ROTFLOL!
"He did not appear to be conservative enough either."
His voting record is one of the most conservative in the Senate.
"...he is 10000000000000000000000x (estimated) better than Mike Moore getting a Senate seat."
BTTT!
"Too many "outsiders" don't understand
that OR Mississippi politics and voters."
That is more than evident on TL threads.
His voting record is one of the most conservative in the Senate.
Which upon reflection is not saying much - unfortunately.

I would think having a 93 lifetime conservative
voting record is saying quite a bit.
It was 96 in 2004.

Yes, then he voted for a number of not so conservative bills put forth by ???????????
I hope that he is not so stupid to make racist implying comments again.
As far as I am concerned, the man is not too bright.
"...put forth by ???????????"
I don't know.
Who put them forth?
And, what were they?
BTW, I didn't say his record was 100% conservative. ;o)
Can't give up your day job just yet, eh Chester?
Oh, I wasn't fussin' with you. And I don't know what the votes were that took his rating down. I have a suspicion that they were votes for things the President supported.
LOL!
Okie dokie. ;o)
I wasn't sure where you were going,
but I understand now.
