Lott's ACU voting record is solid also.
He's got himself in a real bind here. The democrats claim to hate him in the hopes of driving him from the senate entirely and creating an issue from what would otherwise be a total vacuum on the rat side of the isle. They really have nothing left over there and this is the best they come up with on such short notice.
The conservatives are still pissed about impeachment and the moderates are running for cover because someone called him a racist. His voting record and strong talk on PBA notwithstanding Lott's suddenly got nowhere to go.
He's got no friends left.
I know he's not a racist, I think everyone does but they just don't care. It's all a political calculation at this point.
If this costs us the senate or taints our SC this is going to be the biggest GOP tragedy since Jeffords jumped.
They will have to change our label from "Stupid party" to "Sucicidal, guilt ridden, bipolar party"
