If Lott steps down from majority leader, why should he stay in the senate?? If he is too prejudiced to be the majority leader, isn't he also too prejudiced to be a senator???

Wanna guess what Jesse and Al will say?? They want him to step down because a dem in Mississippi can then appoint a new DEM senator.

POOF! What fragile majority? Say hello to majority leader senator Daschle.

If Lott steps down, the controversy is over. If Dems overplay their hand and call for his removal from the Senate, we, as the majority, will first demand the Democrats remove Byrd and Hollings. Issue done.

Whether or not Lott is a senator is for the state of Mississippi to decide. Whether or not he should represent the entire GOP is for the GOP to decide.

It's not about prejudice. It's about stupidity.
