I hope people are happy around this place.

Why, are you buying into Lott's blackmail? He's as low as Jeffords, now.

Maybe I'm being too harsh.

Let's see, Lott loaded the gun, pointed it at his head, pulled the trigger...

Yup, Lott kinda volunteered for this.

And republicans are lower than snake bellies for bending over again. I don't blame the guy.

I've been reading this post, waiting for someone to figure out that Bush is almost better off without a Republican Senate, unless he has a veto proof majority.

The Republicans will call Lott's bluff, and he will NOT quit the Senate because no one would give him a job elsewhere. Bush does not want Lott as Leader, and he doesnt care of the spectacle the media would make if Lott were to leave anyway. He did fine with Daschle as leader, and anything he didnt get, Daschle got the blame.

Reagan got most of what he wanted with a Democratic Senate, and Bush will do the same if he has to. Let the media laugh, Bush will win in the end, but he wont have to. Lott will step down, and he will shut up about it.
