What worries me more about that is not what the Democrats are saying, but what it's causing amongst the Republican and conservative ranks.
The Lott situation was, and may or may not still be, on the brink of causing a deep fissure in conservative circles. A whole lot of people on our side saw self-serving grandstanding by certain elements of the conservative movement. The notion that it was never about Lott, but rather about tarring every Republican and conservative as a Ku Klux Klansman in the Robert Byrd mold, was not recognized immediately by as many people as it should have been.

Rush Limbaugh ...and when it sinks in to white southern' pubs that in effect they have all been slandered as closet racists by the RINO Republican establishment, who just knew the evil in Lott's heart because he was raised in the south and therefore had to be at least a separatist no matter what he said, and thereby justified their abandonment of him, there may well be many less votes in the GOP column for many elections to come......
