Joel Mowbray of National Review

Joel Mowbray of National Review Online on the possibility that Trent Lott will quit the Senate if he is deposed as its Majority Leader. Lott’s resignation, if coupled with a switch of party by Lincoln Chafee, would give control of the Senate back to the Democrats. Mowbray believes that Lott may well quit the Senate and Chafee may well convert. Nonetheless, he argues that the alternative, Lott remaining as Majority Leader, is unacceptable.
