I hate to bow down to this kind of hypocritical blackmail, but we all would prefer a different majority leader anyway. We need Trent Lott in the Senate, but let's get someone in the leadership position who won't bend over for the clintons every time they flash his FBI file.

What the hell kind of principle is that?
When they went after Newt and Bob Livingston, they didn't step down, they stepped out. Any retreat by Lott or the Republican Senate gives credence to those claiming Lott is a racist and a segregationist.
The onslaught from that situation would end up just like Gingrich and Livingston. Lott would resign his seat.
Fortunately, I think the opinion of the general public will be contrary to that espoused by the alliance of the professional race-baiters and the anti-Lott conservatives.
But as a matter of course, I would like to add that anybody here who thinks Lott is a racist Dixiecrat should be demanding he resign from the senate, not just as majority leader.
