ABC News Reporting Lott Says He Has Votes to Remain Leader, Will Not Step Down

ABC NEWS Radio Report ^ | December 17, 2002 | Doug Limerick

No text yet, just a radio report at the end of Rush's show.

Must be worried about the Russert report this morning that he is 'Far' from the 26 votes needed for a Senate Caucus victory.

[concerned about politics]

Lanny Davis is now defending Lott! Lanny says...he's a man of integrity and character.

hmmmmmm. Maybe the polls came in???
Maybe the Democrats are losing this issue? Maybe voters think they're NUTS? This is a 1-80.
I'd like to see a voter poll on this.

[Mo1]

What did they do, lasso and hogtie him? Usually he flees like a roach when the lights come on whenever Fox is around.

More like what is Jesse up to .. you are right, he stays as far away from Fox as he can

[Fish out of Water]

Yes a quick vote would be advantageous.

[aristeides]

I agree with Howlin have the vote this week.

If Lott really has the votes, he might prefer that too. However, some senators are apparently overseas.

[aristeides]

I've suspected for some time that the RATs have been badly overplaying their hand.

[alnick]

Jackson was too busy trying to smear the president with Lott's mess to actually go after Lott.

[Dog]

I heard on Fox last night ......the vote could be done on a conference call.

[NittanyLion]

He is probably reading these comments to find how he can more effectively show how he is aligned with the socialist left black caucus.

He's done a damn good job of showing his socialist tendencies for many years. It's only the black caucus part that's new.

[aristeides]

Are you sure? I read here within the past day or two that the VP has to vote in person in Senate votes. Are caucus votes any different?

[Kerberos]

"Jackson was too busy trying to smear the president with Lott's mess to actually go after Lott. "

Why does that not surprise me?

[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

E, If both sides get to vote, the Democrats will undoubtedly elect Lott again. Peace and love, George.

[dfwgator]

Well I personally would like to thank you for kowtowing to the racist NAALCP.

The last thing the NAALCP wants is for Lott to go. They've got him right where they want him now.

[woofie]

Trent was good as Minority Leader ....I suggest a trade with the Democrats ....We'll take Breaux they get Trent and weekly visitations with McCaine

[johnb838]

Oh, I don't know... it (for the most part) has gotten the anti-war communist leftists and UN butt-kissers off the front page while we move the last pieces into place for

Gulf War II: The Conquest of Babylon

[hole_n_one]

John Lewis offers an olive branch to Lott

[KQQL]

[Peach]

We've been pushing for a conference call vote OR AT LEAST press release. Calls to my senator's office, etc. But still need Racicot's e-mail address if anyone has it. Would like to threaten to cut off our quarterly donations unless they get rid of Lott AND start defending themselves appropriately.

[dfwgator]

I've suspected for some time that the RATs have been badly overplaying their hand.

Exactly, that's the best part. The longer it goes on, not only does it make Lott toast (win), it also exposes their hypocrisy regarding Byrd, Hollings et. al. (win).

[John Lenin]

Yep. Lott said he now is for affermative action. (barf)
That's reason enough for me to abandon Lotts sinking ship.

[Bluntpoint]

"I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard the word "code" this very week."

Let us get together tonight and discuss that "matter" we were discussing earlier. Bring the rope. That "matter" needs to be taught a lesson.

"Matter" was not so uppity when we were in charge.
