Lott grew some balls and told President Bush that he wasn't resigning for being something he's not.
 
Everyone is forgetting the one principle for which Lott will stand firm-his own polical power. Lott can threaten to resign from the senate, setting in motion events culminating in a rat senate majority. He has W by the short hairs.

" ......Lott can threaten to resign from the senate, setting in motion events culminating in a rat senate majority. He has W by the short hairs."

But is Lott willing to accept the same fate and reputation among his GOP colleagues that was accorded to Jeffords ??? I think not, so his threat to resign is a game of chicken (one I'm not sure I want to see the GOP playing !)

Oh please, any threat of Lott's to resign from the Senate is simply more grist for the mill that the schmuck is out for himself only - which many of us get and many of you don't.

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

And what happens if Lott doesn't resign, and some Northern RINO's like Chaffee, Snowe and Collins, along with McCain, decide they don't want to belong to a party that has Lott as majority leader, and do a Jeffords?
