The reason the Demorats want Lott gone however, is quite obvious. The Govenor of Missisippi is a Demorat and if Lott is ousted he would naturally appoint a Demorat to the Senate. That would give the Demorats 51 seats and an illegitimate majority.

Thank you, that needs to be repeated to the repubs on this board who seem to be carrying water for the DNC!

Right now the Senate is 48-1-51..if Lott leaves it would be 49-1-50 if the Rat Gov can appoint a Senator, in other words a 50-50 Senate with Cheney as tie-breaker (and no other Repub bolting)........btw...I read on FR that the Gov of Mississippi has 90 days to call for special elections if Senator retires and cannot appoint.....does anyone know for sure?
