Exactly, which is why, if anything, he was commenting on his services that he was familiar with AFTER Thurmonds run in 48. Thurmond DID change, he was one of the first to integrate his staff, and whether you like it or not he WAS a giant on the American political landscape during and after that period.
To construe that he [Lott] is for segregation, or thought we would be better off with it is the height of lunacy. While Lott has continuously demonstrated his spinelessness in matters political, its a cheap shot on behalf of 'Rats (and some R's) to hound him with this comment.
