Doug Feder, as is his wont, hit the ball outta da park with this article. I find it interesting so far reading the debate is still about Lott and how he either deserved to be dumped or was shafted by his own and mixed in are debates about Harry Truman.

One of the sentences that leapt off the page to me follows:
"In many ways, Lott does indeed represent everything that’s wrong with the Republican Party – lack of purpose, lack of courage, at times, even lack of consciousness ... ",

It is interesting whenever the policies of the GOP are raised for discussion on FR these days, those who are critical of GOP politics are ... in keeping with the Holiday spirit of love and tolerance ... chastised as being DU plants, libertarian loonies, Buchaneers, etc.

While I find the reason for dumping Lott repugnant and two faced, I for one am glad he is gone.

The GOP has an opportunity here to return to an agenda that places fidelity to and enforcement our Constitution through principled leadership. But I would bet they will continue playing the game of pragmatic middle of the road, moderation, rather than "lead".
