I DON'T WANT HIM AS LEADER EITHER, BUT I DON'T WANT THE DEMS TO WIN THIS FLIMSY ORCHESTRATED ATTEMPT TO REMOVE HIM NOW!

I want the Dems to win this one. All the likely alternatives to Lott will be far more damaging to them. Let the Republicans take the moral high ground and hand a tactical defeat to the Democrats in one stroke (to Lott's hair-sprayed head).

The Dems don't want Lott to resign, they want him to be the focal point of their attacks later on. By Lott resigning as ML. that takes that option away from the Rats. The last thing the Rats want is for Lott to resign as Majority Leader.
