Not necessarily. I don't imagine the Dem. leadership is anxious to get rid of Lott as ML. In my opinion,he has helped the Dems. out quite a bit. They might not get things their way so easily with the person who succeeds him!
I heard on the news the other day that Lott had 'threatened' to resign the Senate if he couldn't stay as ML. That was apparently a LIE! It was the MS Gov. Ronnie Musgrove who suggested that Trent wouldn't want to stay, and was salivating at the prospect of appointing a Dem. in his place. Of course the news idiots reported it that Trent had said it. Typical.
Clinton can have Lott
