While I am glad Lott might be stepping down, I don't see any good coming out of this situation. If as many speculate, he steps down then he might leave the Senate and we would end up with MIKE ESPY representing the great state of Mississippi. Clinton's guys and girl did not have a chance at the ballot box, but now one of them might get in via a smear campaign. Bill Frist would be a great choice, but a Lincoln Chaffee could screw things up and he will be MINORITY LEADER FRIST and we are back to square one. If Lott does step down and leaves the Senate, he should persue a "Scorched Earth" policy and directly critize by name (i.e. Bryd) the racist past of others in the Senate. I doubt it will happen if Lott wants a chance at a fat lobbyist job in his post senate career and his lack of principles in the past (i.e. Impeachment) leads me to believe this will not happen. You have to hand it to the democrats, their strategy was right on when they pounced all over Lott. They knew the Republicans would roll over when it comes to the race issue.
