It just occurred to me that Chafee would be crazy to jump ship, because it could easily backfire on him in November if a Republican beats Espy.

It does not matter. The only way Lott can be not be Majority leader next year is if he resigns. He has said he will stay and fight and not resign.

Lott was elected 3 weeks ago. There is no provision to undo an election for Majority leader anymore than Gore could demand a new election after losing 2000. They counted the votes and Lott won a unanimous decision.

The election has been held. Lott won. He as to resign to not be MAJORITY LEADER. He last night refused to do that. It is over.

Well, that's interesting stuff. But I wouldn't bet on Lott being Majority Leader on January 7.
