Again, it is incorrect to downplay the Democratic Party and AA's taking the lead on the strong opposition to Trent Lott as Majority Leader. Many Republicans are only responding to this because of the negative publicity this is bringing to their party. They responded in record numbers AFTER TOm Daschle and the CBC spoke out. Of course they're all coming out of the woodworks now saying he should step down....but in the beginning it was AA's and Democrats.

But hey, if the Republicans have people thinking that they led the fight on censuring Trent Lott and asking him to resign..... their political strategy has worked beautifully.
