if Lott retires (and that is still a pretty good possibility), the Senate race in Mississippi will be competitive. The current and former Democratic State Attorney Generals would be incredibly viable candidates and believe it or not the State party is fairly well organized, cohesive and active. I hope Trent bends to family pressure and tends to hurricane relief instead of returning to Washington. A guess on my part, trent is afraid his seat will end up in Dems hands, thus his unwillingness to make a decision. On the other hand, and another guess of mine, he might want to give the seat to the Dems just to piss bush off.
