Lott will never go back to Mississippi. He loves his home state the way Bob Dole loved Kansas. Folks who have lived in DC that long & who believe politics is life believe DC is the only place in the universe. Chester would as soon live in outer Mongolia as live more than 100 miles from the political capitol. How do you know this? I'm really anxious to know.
Phil Gramm has been in the Congress as long as Lott, and he's getting away from Washington as fast as he can.
Trent Lott, is not, nor has EVER been, Phil Gramm. That's the difference.
