Apparently, Don Nickles has lost the fire in the belly in politics. He probably sees how difficult it is to make progress in the political arena, and now he wants out while he can earn hundreds of thousands in the private sector.

He may indeed want to make the big $$$, but I think Nichols was more than a little surprised and upset over the Lott affair...he expected at least some support for himself as SML...when it didn't come, he was more than a tad annoyed with his coleagues...BTW..let me remind you of my prediction ..made here several months ago, that if Breaux retires..Donna Brazile runs for the seat...

[Huck]

Politics sucks.

Apparently, Don Nickles has lost the fire in the belly in politics.

He's already served longer than he intended to in the Senate. Why should he change and become a career politician now?
