WASHINGTON (AP) -- Fresh from their election victory, Senate Republicans on Wednesday confirmed that Sen. Trent Lott will remain their leader when the new Senate convenes in January under GOP control.
Lott, who has led the Senate Republicans since Sen. Bob Dole resigned to run for president in 1996, said security issues -- national security and the economic, health care and retirement security of Americans -- will be his focus when he resumes the role of Senate majority leader that he lost when Democrats took control of the Senate 18 months ago.

When did Marcy Kaptur get involved in this? I thought it was just Ford and Pelosi! Boy, you can't go away for 5 minutes without things changing!

"You could feel the electricity," at the meeting where the leaders were chosen." Hope it was one of those Taser belts, strapped to Lots back and wired to a push button in the Oval Office

There will be times when I have to do things the Democrats won't like." Humor me. Name 3. No, name 2. No, name me 1.
Uh, Never mind.

Great! This is wonderful! We needed a strong, committed Republican as majority leader in the Senate again. Oh, wait. Did you say Trent Lott was elected? Never mind. The man needs testicular replacement therapy.

That would make sense. Too much gleeful cheering from the GOP side and frightened bewilderment from moderate Dems for Pelosi to just waltz into the job, some Dems know that they have to put up a moderate alternative to her. Hopefully it is too little too late, but one wonders if a Becky Red Earth will be counting the Dem caucus 'secret ballots' tomorrow.

Isn't the title a typo? Isn't that supposed to be: "Latte re-elected Senate Majority Leader ....?" The term "Latte" means Pelosi ....... NOT!
In her dreams.

Without Bush in the White House telling Trent Lott what to do, Trent Lott would be just as bad for Republicans as Nancy Pelosi is for the Dems.
