>>...Were Lott a democrat, there would nothing from his friends...<<

Amen. The problem with Conservatives is that we're TOO principled.

We know Lott is bad so we're willing to use this to get rid of him.

We should stand behind him against the Demonrats then when this all blows over call on him to step down as ML.

What a hoot that Lott is deemed so ineffectice as a leader, when his job is to herd cats, not play politics like he is the reincarnation of Genghis Khan.The dems had a gut like that as Majority Leader.Those who say he was weak are naifs.He has to keep a coalition of primadonnas in line and do the best job possible.It doesn't require being a firebrand to be a good leader, just witness Daschle.The job of Majority Leader is to be a trimmer, and to get the President's agenda passed.As if he will set policy? What a joke! Bush is in charge.Lott takes his orders from him, and Lott's job will be to act like a Chief Whip.He has to find out what is feasible and attainable for the WH.

Lott is not supposed to be a hard charger of some later day William Wallace.Bush has that job, and considering the outcome after Novemeber 5th, just who here is qualified to second guess their abilities?
