If there wasn't a recent history of Democrats switching to the Republican party in the Senate I'd almost believe your doomsday scenario. There's a better chance of a Democratic senator being persuaded to change parties now than the reverse if Lott bails.
You know Kristinn for the last week I've been telling anybody that would read it that it was either ML or out. And I was castigated, repudiated and every other kind of ated you can think of.
Well now I'm telling you that if Lott leaves we lose the majority, we lose judicial nominees, we lose on PBA and we lose on tax cuts. President Bush will also be hamstrung in his war on terror and iraq because we are moving into a Presidential election cycle.
You can believ it or not. The folks here and I'm sure the baiters on the left are outraged at this "blackmail" when you all just tried to run Lott out on a rail.
Please.
