Correction: Lott said he won't quit the Senate even if he is deposed from Majority leader. He said his term runs through 2006, and he intends to fulfill it.

"Lott said he won't quit the Senate even if he is deposed from Majority leader."

With this statement now out , it's now only a matter of time. He would be wise to announce the scheduling of a new leadership election as soon as possible. That way he could go out looking like the good guy giving the others a chance to reconsider in light of his recent gaff. It's going to happen whether he goes along or not. Might as well exit with the maximum grace possible.
