I'm no big fan of Lott..I didn't like what he didn't do during impeachment and I certainly didn't like the "power sharing" nonsense with the democRATs. Agree or not, like it or not, the Republican caucas reelected Lott. Probably to keep the more moderate/liberal Republicans on our side of the isle.

But, this is not fair. This is painful to watch because even if he is too accomodating, he is not a racist.

I tend to dispise anyone who uses the "r" word. It's cheap, it's painful, and 9 our of 10 times untrue.

Maybe Lott will resign his leadership position for "family reasons" in the months to come. But, I sure hope we don't allow ourselves to be held hostage to this bs any longer.

I agree.

I hope he sticks for now, and then resigns 'on his own' a few months later for various reasons which he will have a couple of months to think up.

By resigns, I mean as leader not as senator, of course.

I think Trent fell on a sword for the party. In one swoop, the majority leader can be changed, and the R party can show how much they love negroe's.

I would love to see the short list, but we'll know soon enough.
