I think a few here on FR are letting their dislike and disgust with Trent Lott's leadership (or lack thereof) cloud the real issue here -- yeah, many of us want this loser gone, but if he steps down now, we may very well lose the Senate -- the only people 'dragging this out" are the Lott haters here on FR -- the media is all het up over the Scud missles from Yemen and the Hollywood Stars against War stuff...

I admit it. I am one of them. I agree that this one episode should not cost Lott his position, but I think this episode in conjunction with all the other Lott failures is more than enough to want to get rid of him.

I believe we have a better chance of losing the Senate if Lott stays, and besides that, arent we supposed to be better than that? Let the other side keep a loser for political reasons, but we dont have to be like them. Lott should go because he has done a rotten job. I consider this latest thing to be grease for his skids.

My concern is that if he is elected majority leader we will lose the Senate. I don't want him to resign, but I don't want to give the demonRATs a basis to run "Republicans are all racists" commercials for the next two years.
