By no means should the Republicans let him back in. Once a traitor, always a traitor. Jim Jeffords is the lowest type of scum, a man who sold out his party and betrayed those who voted for him, merely so he could get some government pork and a temporary advancement in his career. He only got praised for his principles because he was helping the Democrats and the biased media fully supports their causes: raping the taxpayer, killing babies and using the Constitution to wipe their bums with.

Jeffords is reaping the consequences of betrayal - he is now marginalised, irrelevant and powerless. So what if 1 is the loneliest number. He gave up any pretence of being a loyal colleague a long time ago.

As far as realpolitik goes, it would be to the pubs' advantage to allow the snake back in, but it would create a huge amount of resentment among the conservative base which would become further dissatisfied with Trent Lott, given his prior actions.

IMHO, the best thing to get Lott going is a challenge from a conservative in the primaries next time he's up. Perhaps even a Freeper? All the candidate has to do is get some fear into Lott's mind that he needs to play hardball as much as Dasshole does. I don't think whoever did it would actually win, but it'd be great if someone could do this.
