Of course Karl Rove wants Bill Frist as Senate Majority Leader. Frist has a weak moral compass and will make whatever ideological concessions necessary to support the Administration. He isn't an ego like Lott is, and will be more than happy to function as Karl Rove's "b!tch." Depending on what you think about Karl Rove and his strategies, this could be a good thing or a bad thing.

You two are very, very perceptive individuals...

Glad somebody gets it. ;-)

Lott is dead, he just hasn't lay down yet.

The republican party needs someone the average voter can trust. Lott seemed like a dufus, phoney.

I am glad he is going to go. I just wish he would understand its over and cut a good deal. Go sit in the corner get lots of campaign funding, and then when your term is up, become a consultant.

Just go away. Please.

My hope right now is that the Republican Senators will elect Nickles or McConnell as their way of proving their independence from Rove.

Perhaps I'm being hopelessly naive in holding on to such a vain hope, but the alternate universes we are headed towards based on this decision are strikingly different places.

Personnel IS policy.
