See my #807. The Dems in the gang of 14 would be loathe to tow the Kennedy/Reid/Boxer line for fear of losing their seats.
I DO NOT TRUST TRENT LOTT.
There have been too many reports of Trent Loott plotting to return to the Republican leadership.
This would be a golden opportunity for him to be a power broker of some form.
I am already dreading the inevitable "mccain the moderate maverick" interviews.
