Of course you already know that I have made my position very clear on that point.

If Lott quit the Senate and empowered the Daschle Dems it would mean his political suicide...and it would be a self-immolation.

The only way for him to salvage anything whatsoever is to step down from the Leadership and take his place as a committee chairman. At that point, GOP ranks will close around him, and he can be assured of remaining in that Club for as long as he wants, and for as long as his constituents will have him.

Why? Just because you and some recent others are expressing your dislike for him?
