Fox is speculating that it has to do with new lobbying laws that go into effect next year. Current law is you must wait 1 year after leaving government. New law will make that 2 years.
To: mewzilla
This is horrendous news. Not that I am a big fan of Lotts but the amount of Senate seats we have to defend this year was already lop sided, and I assume that this seat had been considered safe, so we are adding one more.
I really hope that everyone who today claims they will not vote in 2008 if their favorite candidate is not the Presidential nominee at least works their butts off to keep our Senate seats, and votes R for the other offices.

Fox is speculating on some new rule for becoming a lobbyist. Maybe that is the reason.
Still odd, though.

Well Drudge doesn’t have anything up on it yet- FOX must have gotten the scoop and the statement from Lott will come later? But you’re right- normally it would be something like -Lott will stop down for health, financial or whatever reasons...but so far- nothing.

2 press conferences scheduled for L8R today. Speculation that he wants to resign B4 there's a 2-year waiting period prior to becoming a lobbyist (It's 1 year now...changes on 1/1/08)...

Rumor has it he is pi$$ed with Mississippi for kicking his butt all over the map over amnesty... and his brother-in-law is dickie scruggs. Maybe ole trent will campaign for hildebeast, like his sister's husband (dickie) did in Oxford a week ago. billy-jeff... buffalo butt and a dim cast from hell met at dickies home... I heard trent made an appearance. Who knows... he is worth less than worthless!

Haley Barbour will appoint a real Conservative... as he is a REAL Conservative... my guess... CHIP PICKERING.

I sense a scandal target.
Too much ego to leave early otherwise.

Fox is saying it could have something to do with new lobbying rules. Could be, but that may just be his official “stance”. LOL

I really hope that everyone who today claims they will not vote in 2008 if their favorite candidate is not the Presidential nominee at least works their butts off to keep our Senate seats, and votes R for the other officesThe last time the Republican right threw a hissy ft and nominated an unelectable conservative, in addition to electing Lyndon Johnson, they also produced a Congress with a 68-32 RAT Senate and a 295-140 RAT House.
That 89th Congress did more damage, much of which is probably unfixable, than any Congress since the 75th.
If the Republican right defects this year, more than Hillary Clinton, the result is likely to be the most radical Congress in our history.

If it’s true, guess he was going to retire B4 the ‘08 election anyway...
