I was initially opposed to the idea of getting rid of him over this.....that it'd look like caving in to the liberal smear campaign.

Instead, I now think it makes more sense, given how much play this has gotten, to go ahead and say it would be a "healing" move for him to volutarily step down as leader. The pubs could tie it all together by saying how STRONGLY they desire minorities to see us doing the right thing EVEN THOUGH Lott has said his intentions were honorable.

We wish to avoid the APPEARANCE of wrong.

Frist was very articulate, smart, visionary, organized....you name it. I, too, was very impressed.

The mere APPEARANCE of right more important than the REALITY of power? I think that's living in a dream world.
