Do you happen to know how many votes it takes to be majority leader? It seems to me that PhiKapMom told me that Nickles was unacceptable to the more liberal members like Snow, and Lott was someone they all could agree on. That sounds to me like it takes more than a simple majority, but it may just have been her phrasing that led me to believe that.

It's a simpole calculation...
51 R) Senators...
26 votes needed total to be Majority Leader.

No I don't know... I'd guess a simply majority but I really don't have any idea..... Makes a big difference now if they can run ol Lott out the door and get a 50/50 Senate again. This was all quite until after the LA election and Mary won....
