The Dems want Lott to stay as Majority Leader, because now they REALLY have him around their filthy little finger. As David Frum said yesterday on Na. Review Online, if Lott stays as Majority Leader, it will mean even more spineless cow-towing to the Democrats in the Senate. The GOP won a majority. We can ill afford to have a leader who has been whipped into line by the Democrats. We should consider the storm Lott has created, and the Democrats have encouraged, as a favor, and dump him.

Exactly. They'll blackmail the hell out of him (although I think they've been blackmailing him for a long time already.)
