Well, somebody has to replace Lott! Geez...he shouldn't get a single vote based on his past performace - as either Majority or Minority leader. It's way past time for Lott to go!

Don Rickles could beat Lott!

He votes pretty good, but is no leader when it gets tough.

Let's hope that this isn't the time that Lott decides to rediscover his backbone.

I don't really know for sure but he's got to be better than Lott at this Senate game.

Can't think of anyone who is satisfied with Lott's so called leadership.

I believe he was one of Newt's LTs over in the house. Good enough for me. :)

This is a great idea for a Freep! We need to ask every Republican Senatorial Candidate for whom they would vote for Majority Leader.

We could keep score on a map and use the endorsements to sway Freeper Support.

Let the RINO Hunt begin!

What I want to know is, why has it taken "Some of the Senators" so long to discover that they are "no longer happy with Lott's leadership"? The rest of us have been dissatisfied with this turkey for years.

At least Rickles can be rude and funny vs. pathetically funny.

ROTFLMAO!!!

He would call Trent Lott a dummy, then give him a cookie and tell him to go away.
