I think I would call his bluff I were the POTUS.

So would I.

Show him the personal political black pit that is waiting for him if he undoes all the work Republicans have done to retake the Senate.

What "black pit"? He's out of politics, and working in Mississippi lobbying, or on the Boards of 5 or 6 Mississippi companies who appreciate what Lott has done for the State.

Hell, he could quintuple his salary if he left.

Lott will be blackmailed by the Dims for the next two years. The only way he can PROVE he isn't a racist is to vote for everything and anything the Black Caucus wants (and they want plenty!) Then the rest of the Republican senators will be painted with the same brush (thanks to Lott) and they too will have to vote for a lott of bad bills. This is going to cost us dearly if he stays as Majority Leader. We're going to be deluged with minority giveaway bills. He should be moved to the back bench ASAP.
