"There were also private discussions about whether party elders-perhaps former GOP leaders Robert Dole of Kansas and Howard Baker of Tennessee--should approach Lott soon to ask him to step aside for the good of the party.

Never happen. Both have class and people with class don't kick someone when they are down --especially over a thought crime. Warner puffed himself up when he married Elizabeth Taylor and never got over it. Witness Ollie North.

I dunno,,,I can see Bob Dole and Howard Baker asking him to go. When he got on BET and started vowing to rethink the Pickering nomination and affirmative action, I decided it was time for that phony unreconstructed racist cheerleader compromiser in chief to go. If this were anyone else I might feel different. But his phoniness and his pandering are just too much.
