You guys keep hoping that Lott will be voted out as Majority Leader. If he is voted out, what happens if he gets mad and resigned. That means that the Democrat Governor gets to pick a democrat, that makes the senate 50-50 again. ONe of those RINO would break, and become independent, giving the Democrats majority, and we have Tiny Tom again. I say that I rather take my chances in 2004, after the Republicans have set the priorities that will help the American people.

I realize that is a distinct possiblity. I'm hoping that Lott has enough honor to not take his ball and go home if he's no longer "leader".

That having been said, I also realize that when one of those RINOs bolts, Lott will effectively not be leading if he were still occupying the Senate Republican leader's office. Considering that is a certainty (the fact that there still hasn't been any mention of cost to Jim Jeffords for his bolt makes it costless even to create a 50-50 tie, at least as long as Lott as "leader"), I'm willing to take my chances on a different leader.

That means that the Democrat Governor gets to pick a democrat, that makes the senate 50-50 again.

Not necessarily. If he resigns prior to 01/01/03, a special election is held within 90 days. If after, the democratic governor would appoint a replacement until the November 2003 elections.

So, if we're going to have to kick the bastard out let's do it NOW!
