There are different versions of this going around.

I heard reported on CBS radio news that the White Housel is not asking him to resign from the senate, which is very different form not wanting him to resign as majority leader.

That is all that Wolf Blitzer would say that the White House 'would not ask' for Lott to resign. (perhaps parsing the words to mean 'The Senate' in accordance with the CBS Radio report?)

But perhaps the RNC tomorrow asking Lott to resign from the Majority Leaders post would be a different matter..
