I hate the hypocricy of the left, who can coddle Robert "Sheets" Byrd, but attack Lott. That being said.... Go Nichols!!!! I would love this to blow up in the Dem's face by getting a REAL Republican Majority Leader.

Exactly. The RATS are playing with fire by calling for Lott's resignation. If Nickles replaces him as I hope he does, the RATS will be facing a much tougher Majority Leader who is going to play hardball with them on the Senate reorganizing resolution and will probably beat them at their own game.

And if Lott retires and McCain switches to Independant than what ? Than we have two more years of Dashle. Brilliant move neo-cons.

Exactly. My comments from an earlier post:

"We need to make the Democrats pay for this by giving them a new face as Senate Majority Leader who is tough and won't wimp out Lott-style. It should be a "be careful what you ask for - you may get it" kind of a lesson."
