Oh, I think it's a definite possibility. Maybe even a likelihood.
Not that I have any love for Lott you understand. But he's been working behind the scenes toward this goal for himself I believe.
Some of the paralysis of the Senate pubs on various issues may be due to Lott's influence, I'd wager.
If it even looks like a remote possibility, we need to bombard all Republican senators to pick someone else - I sure will! Of course, the media might be a help for once, if they bring up all the BS about why Lott stepped down in the first place.
