Please understand, Daschle never does ANYTHING without the approval of x42. That's the bottom line. This was a purely political stand, because Daschle can manipulate Lott and those who are waiting in the wings for Lott's job will be much tougher to maneuver around.
The interesting thing is this: our President has given Lott the word; it's my way or the highway. If Lott doesn't play his cards right (pun intended), he will suddenly decide to retire.
Soooooo, what Daschle doesn't understand is Lott will be much tougher than he is expecting him to be - I believe this is another case of the dems misunderestimating the Bush team again.

I know..
He's seen as a mean little obstructionist twerp who shut down the government every bit as effectively as Newt ever did. He's widely hated and polls below Al Sharpton.
But he said it, and it can't hurt to say thank you and mention you are one of those "mean spirited" Conservatives who listens to Rush in the process.
I honestly believe we ARE just inherently better than them and this is one more chance to make that distinction.
I don't care about what happens to Lott. I do think however that if he goes it should be because he's an inept leader as opposed to a racist.
