Notice the conservatives are coming out against Lott. I'm guessing that's because they're dreaming of a conservative Senate majority leader.

Well, consider this:--IF Lott steps down AND stays in the Senate---and a conservative Senate Majority Leader emerges....Chafee and Snowe will have their reason to bolt the party.

See, your premise is wrong. They are coming out against Lott because it is the right thing to do. Period. Olympia Snow is a loyal Republican. Chaffee, I am sure, is just itching to become another Jumpin' Jim what with all the power he now has.

"See, your premise is wrong. They are coming out against Lott because it is the right thing to do."

Huh? So this is why the DemocRATs won't let go of this? They're holding onto this out of a sense of moral righteousness?

Please, in politics all things are political. ESPECIALLY among DemocRATs.

As far as the conservatives who have come out against Lott...well, I do think they believe it is the right thing to do.---But, let's not forget that Pat Buchanan acted purely on his sense of what was the "right thing to do" in 1992...and he ended up helping to introduce the Clintonian virus to the American soul.

We're neck deep in polictics and that means we must...THINK!
