Thanks a Lott:

The current Trent Lott / Thurmond imbroglio is causing immense damage to Republicans and right-wingers. For example, on the conservative Hugh Hewitt radio show, a Lott supporter called in to bemoan the fact that Harry Truman "didn't support the military" and had advisors like the "terrible" Dean Acheson. Therefore, Thurmond and the Dixiecrats were the better choice! It's become that goofy.

We say, keep Lott in!    First of all, the Democrats couldn't have a better get-out-the-vote machine than Trent's mouth. Second, we're not so sure his replacement would be better for the U.S. policy-wise, or for Democrats politically. You've gotta wonder when some right-wingers are looking at Lott's dilemma as something they can take advantage of.
