My favorite quote from the article:
He was re-elected in 2006 to his fourth Senate term and had rebounded to become the No. 2 Republican this year after his party had lost its majority in the Senate. But in recent months, Mr. Lott, 66, has made no secret of his deepening frustration in the Senate, not only because his party is in the minority but also because an increasingly bitter partisan divide this year has left little use for his skills as a deal-maker.
After the news conference, he said the frustration was not the sole motivation for his decision, but admitted it was a factor. “I’ve switched back and forth six times, and the majority is better,” he said. “I like to get things done.”
You know what, Trent? I like the majority better too. Now if only it would act like one...
