Intelligent people can handle things intelligently. Lott can step down as Majority Leader graciously, and continue to serve, without coming out and "admitting he's a racist."

Problem here is that if he steps down .. he will step out of the Senate

And the Dems know this .. why do you think the are pushing this issue ..

If the Dems were really outraged over what they think was a racist comment .. they then need to have a long talk with members of there current party

Which is how Lott can redeem himself and stay in the Senate but NOT as Majority leader, at least until Haley Barbour (hopefully) is elected Gov. of Mississippi in the fall of '03 and takes office Jan. '04.

What is this, the entire GOP is now being held hostage by the spineless, dumba** Lott???!!!!. If that's the case, then Lott can leave the country for all I care. We'll make a deal and bring someone else over from the other side of the aisle.
