Okay, now you've succeeded in ousting Lott, what's next? Back to power sharing and maybe with another jumper say hello to ML Daschle.... Right now it appears that Lott is most likely gone, so what is next?

That's simply not true. If we have a new ML, that doesn't change the numbers in the Senate one iota.

The only way the numbers change is if Lott is stupid enough to become the biggest traitor since Benedict Arnold.

Looks like the only jumper we have to worry about is Lott. The others are not goign to jump. They remember what happened to Jeffords and they dont want to join him in siberia in 2004 when we retake the majority should their flip cause us to lose it.

What next? Vote on a new Majority Leader. Prove to all that are watching that we are the Party of Lincoln, not a party of racists. That unlike the Dems, we wont even accept the appearance of racism in our leaders. Then we pass Bush's agenda and collect the rewards in 2004.

And your idea is to stay holed up, fighting with the Dems saying your guys just as bad as my guy. Remember that Gingrich Dole guy that ran for President in 96. Your way every member of Congress would become a Lott Republican. I think most would prefer to be a Bush Republican. Look what happened in 2002.
