I agree. He is damaged goods, and a weak leader.
The recent runoff in LA was won because of black votor turnout. That put them over the edge. With Lott in charge of the Senate, this will happen on a national scale 2 years from now.
The dems know this. They will tar him as much as they can, even censure him, but don't really want him to step down. They need a demon to inflame the emotions of their moronic followers come the next election.
Their handlers freely admitted they had nobody to demonize last election; not since Newt resigned. Heck, they still tried to bring up Newt during the races.
Lott will single-handedly ensure the election of rats next election, if he does not step down.
As far as his FBI file in rat databases, the ex-male cheerleader from Mississippi State supposedly has a college skeleton in his closet. If true, my guess is that the rats are threatening to release this info if he resigns the leadership, but not from the Senate.
The rats win if he stays as ML, or if he resigns from the Senate. The pubs win if he resigns the leadership, but stays in the Senate. I say I don't care if pubs lose the senate, this guy should be gone. He sucks.
Though I crawled over broken glass to vote straight pubbie last election, I left the pubbie party when Lott caved on the CWB treaty. I despise him as a so-called leader.
