Bill Kristol stated that Nickles only needs to circulate a letter signed by four other Senators in the Republican Conference to challenge Lott. All Fox News panelists agreed that Lott would not survive a challenge. Ari Fleisher stated taht if such an election were held, President Bush would not support Lott for re-election as Senate Majority Leader. Conservative Republican and current Senate Republican Asst Leader Don Nickles is the front-runner in such a race. McConnell defended Lott and is unlikely to challenge him although Nickles and Frist probably will.

I hate the hypocricy of the left, who can coddle Robert "Sheets" Byrd, but attack Lott.


That being said.... Go Nichols!!!!

I would love this to blow up in the Dem's face by getting a REAL Republican Majority Leader.

Lott has stated he would quit the Senate if pushed from Senate leader.

I say call his bluff. The love of power even if diminished is to great for him to quit like the loser he is

Lott ought to take his licks and go sit in the corner.

With all due respect to Trent Lott, he oughtta seriously consider standing down and accepting a lesser appointment within the GOP Caucus, not becuz I think he is a racist--he most certainly has not demonstrated that in the past, IMHO--but becuz he has marginalized himself and will not be the strong leader the GOP needs for the next two years.

IMHO...Trent is Texas Toast!

I recall a comment on your post about Lott. Someone said Lott might resign, if forced out of the leadership.

You replied, "I doubt that Lott has your toddlers temperment."

Well, it's starting to appear that he does... :~(

Well IMHO I am glad that Lott's place is being threatened. It is sad to say that it has to happen this way. I personally didn't ever thing Lott had the cajones to stand up to the left wing liberal slime. The dems could actually be doing us a favor because we now get someone we like (Nickles, Frist) that isn't beholden to the black caucus like Lott will be if he stays.
