WOuld it be this one? If this were true, one would have to wonder why some people are so much of a "Johnny-defend-lately" attitude when it comes to Lott.
FWIW, I'm not entirely convinced that Lott would stay as a mere Senator; what I do know is if he were to remain Republican "leader", the Pubbies will be in the majority by July, and nothing positive (e.g. conservative judges being confirmed) will have gotten done by then.
