[Let's Roll]

You could be right - he probably isn't intelligent enough to see that his best course is to resign the ML and stick with the senate. And he never minded selling out the country and his fellow pubs before. Just one more example of why it is SO important to elect more principled individuals than we have been doing lately.

The kind of person you are wishing for very likely does not want to put himself or his family through what passes for politics these days. Personal destruction has become a game.

Playing to win is also a principle, and unless you believe that Trent Lott is a racist, you should not call for his scalp over remarks at a party. President Bush needs a Senate majority to get anything through congress, and HE holds Lott's fate in his hands. W will provide all the backbone Lott needs for the next few months. Then there can be a change of leadership, before the 2004 elections begin.
