That's what he is according to most 'kick him outs' on this board... STUPID.... thus why do you think he'd hang around and be thought of as the stupid ignorant racist from Mississippi just so you can feel good about seeing him disposed from his role? He'd be a damn fool to hand around, jmo, but then I dont' have the insight that most seem to have on this board about how things work.

Thus if I'm right and you are wrong then what are you going to do about power sharing or ML Daschle? It's a damn good possiblility at this stage.

Well, if that is the way this pans out, it will certainly cement Lott's reputation as the biggest political fool of all time.

To answer your question, we'll go on, and try and choose leaders with more wisdom and fortitude in the future, I suppose.

But I assure you, the back-slapping shallow Trent Lott, who obviously wants people to like him above all else, will not enjoy the rest of his life knowing that every thinking Republican in the country hates him viscerally, and that he deserves it.

He would hang around because he would realize that his removal was due to him becoming a liability by virtue of his own hand (mouth), irrespective of his evolution to that status being fair or unfair, and that if he believes what he says he believes, and wants to accomplish, he is duty bound to remain however discomfited he is by his diminished role. That is what you or I would do in similar circumstances, and most folks of good character and spirit, with an interest in making the polity a better place. Thus, even if Lott has made the threat, I really can't believe he would carry it out.
