Yes. More from the Post:

"Yet, in a sign of the Lott camp's concerns, some allies are quietly suggesting to GOP senators that Lott might resign from the Senate if he is forced out as leader, a move that could jeopardize the party's one-seat majority. Mississippi

Gov. Ronnie Musgrove (D) presumably would appoint a Democrat to replace Lott, they note. That would leave the Senate evenly split, enabling Democrats to regain the majority if they could persuade a moderate Republican to switch parties.

A source close to Lott dismissed the scenario, saying, "it would be a cold day before Trent Lott gives his seat to a Democrat governor."

If true, that's the best news I've heard all day.

Are you choosing to deflate this story as a seriel, one episode at a time? :)

It's a trial balloon put up job.Karl was fed a line and gladly reported what the Dems have planned.

The whole story was a gross embellishment or a fabrication.Lots of freepers sure wanted to chew on that bone.

Well I sure hope this is true .. I may not like these attacks from the left .. but sure as heck don't like being blackmailed but the likes of Lott

Ah, crasher, we see now that this is NOT Lott saying this, but rather our favorite unidentified supporters of Lott!

How convenient.

I bet it was McCain. In fact, I would bet cash money on it.
