Lott would not survive so the only question now is will Lott be replaced by solid conservative Don Nickles or more moderate Bill Frist.

The real question is will Lott stay or will he retire.

The real question is will Lott stay or will he retire.

Lott's successor needs to offer him the Chairmanship of the Commerce Commitee where Lott is #2 in seniority to John McCain to give him a graceful exit otherwise a Lott resignation remains a possibility.

I hope that Bush, Rove and every other Republicans are 120% sure that Snow, Chaffee and McCain will stay put. Because if Lott leaves the Senate (which he has threatened to do if forced out), the hard fought victory in November will be all for naught.
