Trent Lott’s Resignation
Right Wing News has a good post about Trent Lott’s resignation and the future of the leadership for Republicans. Here is an excerpt from the interview he had with a high ranking Senate aide:
Anonymous: I think it shakes out like this: Jon Kyl to Whip. Kay Bailey Hutchinson to Conference Chair. John Cornyn to Policy Chair and then Richard Burr to Vice Chair, but it is very fluid.
Regarding my guess of Burr going to Vice Chair, it needs to be noted that he is running against Kay Bailey Hutchinson for Conference Chair. He could possibly win that seat, but it would be an upset. I am guessing that he may drop his bid for that seat if he sees that Kay Bailey Hutchinson has enough support. Then he might go to Vice Chair.
If he doesn’t declare for vice chair then there is a movement afoot to draft Jeff Sessions.
Also, it looks like Lamar Alexander will not get any leadership roles. Good. I think Alexander in a leadership role would be very bad for the Conservative movement, as a lot of his positions are moderate to liberal.
Terry Frank also weighs in on Alexander’s attempt at leadership HERE.
