Interesting....but my concern is long term.
The goal is to retain the Presidency and gain more senate seats.

This issue needs to have the legs cut out from under it.
The best way to do this is, Lott doesn't step down as Majority Leader, he just doesn't get elected to it in the next session.
The Re-election is less than 2 years away and the Rats do not need to be given a rallying point and they WILL try to connect the dots from Lott to President Bush.

So, in the immortal words of Barny Fife..."Nip it in the bud".

A little late for that to happen isn't it?
