Lott Will Make Leadership Bid (Seeks Minority Whip Position vs Lamar Alexander)
Political Wire ^ | November 13, 2006

Posted on 11/13/2006 7:48:27 PM PST by RWR8189

As rumored since last year, Political Wire has learned that Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) will run for Senate Minority Whip. He launched a "quiet campaign" just before the midterm elections in anticipation that the previous holder of the position, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), would lose his re-election race.

However, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) declared last week he has lined up the votes for the leadership post.

Six Senate seats were too close to call election night. Even Chuckie Schumer realizes the small amount of votes that made the difference in who controlled the Senate. Where's the power sharing now?

Lott's performance actually made Frist look good by comparison. Lott needs to check out and hit the lecture circuit, or join a nice think tank as a silent partner.

Although I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments about the Senate, there are a couple of exceptions, notably Jeff Sessions.
