It appears Lott is despised by many on this forum.

LOL, deport you have been here long enough to know that sooner or later everyone takes a turn being despised on this forum!

No, I've been saying from the first that a politically savy move would be to step down (along with a long, soul wrenching statement that says he's doing this for the good of the party, that although he's collegues know that he is not a racist, this sacrifice is necessary and that he knows that conservatives are held to an impossibly high standard, and he's going to use his time in the senate to prove to the country what the people of Mississippi already know....yada yada yada". Then he should take a very high profile position on a very important committee.

That will just KILL the race baiters because they will have accomplished nothing.

Frist is the ideal man to step in. He's only going to be in the senate another 2 years (the length of time for a ML) and then he wants to return to being a surgeon. There is no real worry about him wanting to stay on because if he stays away too long he will lose his skill and everyone knows that he loves being a physician far more than he likes being in the senate. Nichols will be content, McConnell will be content, and Lott has a chance to rehab his image and come back stronger and wiser than before. The ball is in their court, let the best man win.

Oh yeah, and pop some popcorn and pull up a chair because it'll really be fun watching the dems!!!!!

Well as I said you have a good senario but I've seen the road to hell paved with good intentions before. My point is your senario is a good one but has the very one, "racist Trent Lott" agreed to it? I personally don't think he will.... We all can come up with good solutions, but there is only one that can make it work.... A lot of them take their marbles and move on to something else. He can spend the next two years rehabing his reputation for some other after Senate endeavor rather than being looked down upon by his fellow peers, press, media pundits, conservatives, snide remarks about Jesse and the boys will straighten him up if he don't toe the line.... JMO, of course

Frist is the ideal man to step in.

Why do you guys want to turn the Senate over to the RINOs? That's exactly what you would be doing by promoting Frist. I don't get it.

Frist is way to the left of Lott, and he has proven he has no time nor use for conservatives.
