This actually is a gutsy move by Nickles. He either topples Lott, or goes lower on Trent's rolodex than John McCain. This is going to be the battle right here. Nickles vs Lott. McConnell is out, he has picked sided with Lott. Now, is when the real manuevering begins.

Very gutsy indeed and exactly the kind of bold conservative leadership we would want for our next Senate Majority Leader. Kristol said that Nickles will have no problem getting enough signatures to call the leadership election and that Lott would not survive so the only question now is will Lott be replaced by solid conservative Don Nickles or more moderate Bill Frist.

Go Don!!

Nickles did the right thing. Neither the right likes Lott, nor the Jesse Jackson crowd. One thing though, we need to rub in the rat hypocracy as deeply as possible.

Very interesting. The dems might be sorry now that they've been attacking Lott. They at least could always roll him over. It'll be a different kettle of fish with Nickles or Frist.

at least he has balls, we all know that lott does not. lott caves in to the dims at every opp.

[Captain Kirk]

Excellent. Lott needs to reminded that he is power trip is undermining the GOP's political future.

There's not going to be any battle. It's already a done deal,and Lott will resign this coming Friday afternoon. Most likely after 5PM.
