Don't even begin to play the blackmail game with us - you and Lott will lose, big time.

How? If Lott leaves the Senate, the GOP is back to a 50-50 deal with the Democrats.

Lott's got the whip hand here.

And there is no way he loses, whichever way this goes.

Of course he does, but unless he puts the good of his party and country ahead of his own interests (by doing what is suggested by this thread), it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

I have never said he should leave the Senate. Mississippi makes that determination in the next election. I have called for him to step down as Majority Leader - and you know that.

And you'd love that, wouldn't you?

You approve of a blackmailer. By your own statements, I'm left to infer that you approve of "any means necessary."
