Upon hearing this the democrats are probably having two reactions at the same time. First, hoping it happens because they can beat him like a drum with the comments that led to him leaving his leadership position. Second, laughing their merry little behind off at the fact that losin again lott is the only new leader the republicans can come up with.

Sure -- put Trent Lott back in the leadership. That'll get the money rolling in again from all the grassroots Republicans who were angry about ... the filibuster "deal."
