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.

This is horrendous news.

Only for RINOphiles :)

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

The 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.

“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.”

True, but if the rumor is true that Lott is leaving now so that he can avoid waiting two years to become a lobbyist, as required by the new law, then that shows you right there that he is not a man of principle. If, and I do say IF, Lott is leaving because he wants to make money as a lobbyist that just goes to show you he is a phony who could care less about the future of our country.

It’s not about not voting in 2008 if our favorite presidential candidate is not the nominee, at least that’s not what it’s about for me. It’s about keeping the heart and soul of the republican party intact. Voting for Rooty will totally rip the heart and soul out of our party. Once we nominate a democrat in republican clothing the republican party will become irrelevant. One democrat party is enough, we don’t need two of them.

Ha. Have you not seen the "will you stay home in 08" thread?

There are at least 20% of rabbid freepers who will crawl across broken glass to stay home and teach the GOP a lesson if Hunter or Tancredo are not nominated...and will let Hillary "teach them a lesson".

If you figure out a way to satiate those people, we have a chance of pulling off another 50.1% v. 49.9% win.

Other than that, look for a 55/45 "landslide" for an organized Hillary, 'popular' taxes to follow.
