I am not terribly enthusiastic about the possiblity that waxing nostalgic about the good old days of segregation becomes an acceptable mainstream political practice. What's next? Mainstream politicians advocating a return to Jim Crow, or advocating Third Reich style means of dealing with the "them" dujour?
Besides, Lott wasn't forced to resign from the Senate - he was just moved out of a leadership position for stating the party's positions on civil rights too bluntly.

I say do it, get em out there saying what they REALLY mean.
Give the voters a REAL choice by gawd...
