If Lott is asked to step down by the Senate Republicans, his backers state he will resign from the Senate and let the Democrat Governor of Mississippi select his successor, evening up the balance of power in the Senate at 50-50.
It saddens me to see the current Senate Majority leader employ a "If I don't get my way, I'll take my ball home" attitude and foresake the Republicans in the Senate, in the House, in Mississsippi, and all across the nation. Thats pretty selfish of Trent Lott if you ask me.

It's pretty stupid of President Bush not to support him KNOWING that he isn't a racist. Hey, that doesn't matter as long as the RATS "like" us. Screw the people who VOTED for him and supported him EVEN when he was GIVING away everything we have ever believed in.

From what I've read, the great people of Mississippi have overwhelmingly supported him in this latest situation and yet the Republicans say that he owes it to his party to say, regarless the fact that they've emasculated him publicly.
The GOP better wake up and stop picking on him or they may well find Mississippi and other Southern states voting for the next Democratic candidate for president.
