Agree. For one thing, sometimes principles sometimes need to count more than power. However, reality is Lott has no where to go. If he resigns & effectively gives power to the Democrats, he'll be finished. He won't have any influence to peddle, and there's no elective office for him to hold. What would he do - get a real job? Not likely. Someone needs to sit down with him, explain the facts of life, and then cut him off at the knees. There was no excuse for praising Strom for running on a 'hate them niggers' platform. NONE!

I'd call his bluff the minute the next 'blast from the Trent's past' comes to light. However, the RATS might have tenderized him enough now for their purposes and will allow him to pander to BET next week before leaving him in place.
