Go Trent, go!

Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi, who lost the job of majority leader in 2003 after making what many saw as a racially offensive comment, is trying to replace McConnell as whip. He is running against Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will be the Senate Minority Leader, and a prime target when he runs for reelection in 2008.
And if Lott gets denied the leadership role, bored as he is as a back-bencher, perhaps he'll quit early and set up a great pickup opportunity down in Mississippi.
