"In the interest of pursuing the best possible agenda for the future of our country, I will not seek to remain as majority leader of the United States Senate for the 108th Congress effective Jan. 6, 2003," Lott said in a written statement. "To all those who offered me their friendship, support and prayers, I will be eternally grateful. I will continue to serve the people of Mississippi in the United States Senate."

This is Trent Lott's smartest political move in years. He's recognized where he is needed, and where new blood is called for. Kudos to him.

Congratulations to Sen. Lott for doing the decent thing and making the right move for once. It will strengthen and heal our party, allow us to forward with our conservative agenda, and make America better. We wish Sen. Lott the best and hope he continues to work with his GOP colleagues to make the changes the GOP victory on November 5th promised this nation a reality. Its time now to move on to focus on the challenges of the future.

Thanks, Saber. I agree.

I fully expected him to stay on as Senator the whole time when this time came.
