While I wouldn't say Lott's faux pas was the best thing that could have happened, the results were in Republican's best interest. Bush has his man over the Senate, the right was seen to clean its own ranks, and we have a chance of firm leadership, at least in the Senate. Not bad.

Bush has his man over the Senate, the right was seen to clean its own ranks. . .A coupla quick points:
It really should be up to the legislative branch, not the executive, to pick its own leadership I think. On the second part, I believe the perception will not be, as you say, that the right cleaned its own ranks, but that Leftist pressure can toss Republicans onto a guilt trip that'll cause them to cave in.
