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.

Hey, it's a matter of principle, better to be the minority party than have a guy like Lott in there, right ?
