The problem is: Lott is representative of the Republican Party in the minds of liberals. With blacks in tow, they will continue to play the race card even if Lott is on longer Majority Leader. If they can't point the finger at Lott, Nichols will do, so will Selby or McConnell, or..... It won't matter who is in the position, southern Senators are ripe for the accusation Nope sorry I must disagree. Maybe the next person who is Senate Majority leader within the next few days will have a couple billion more brain cells and less ego than Lott.
Once Lott is gone, no more story. Time to move on and give the new Senate Majority Leader a chance.
Republicans should ask Lott to step down as leader, but only for all the nice things he's said about Teddy Kennedy.
