Soon-to-be ex Majority Leader, Sen.
by Sean Hackbarth
Soon-to-be ex Majority Leader, Sen. Trent Lott has had a bad week. But he thinks he can be a good Minority Leader. Paul Gigot writes, “And he’ll need to be, because, for all of his current silver-lining search, his own fate hangs on his performance in the next 17 months. If he can unite his troops and stymie Mr. Daschle, Republicans have a chance to regain Senate control in 2002. And Mr. Lott will keep his job.
But if his caucus fractures and the GOP loses seats, he’ll have a lot more time to spend in Mississippi.”
