The Lott turmoil was entirely manufactured by Democratic operatives — namely by unrepentant Clintonite James Carville, who first made an issue of the remarks the same night on Crossfire — and then pushed the story behind the scenes wherever they could, explaining to pundits and politicians how this could be used to sock it to the GOP.

LOTT was doomed by George Dubya Bush when he came out on TV to trash Lott. Bush has been in hiding every since.

Only a real fool would think that LOTT owes Bush and the likes of Nickles anything.

If they vote him out on January 6th. I predict that Lott will say it is obvious that he has lost the support of both the Republicans and Democrats. He will say that he was elected to represent the people of Mississippi. He can not do that in his current position and the people of Mississippi deserve more. Then he will resign. He will wish both parties good luck and best wishes.

Another take on the fiasco sometimes called cutting your nose off to spite your face....... Get out your fiddle, resin up your bow..... dance time is about to begin

Should Lott Remain as Senate Leader?

*ABC News/Washington Post* Poll**. Dec. 12-15, 2002. N=1,209 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. Field work by TNS Intersearch.

"Trent Lott, who is the Republican leader of the U.S. Senate, recently said the country would be better off if Strom Thurmond were elected president in 1948, when Thurmond ran as a segregationist favoring separation of blacks and whites. Lott later apologized for the comment. Do you think Lott should or should not continue to serve as Republican leader of the Senate?"
