Trent Lott to announce tomorrow whether he will seek reelection

[BOSSHOG]

He will announce in his home town of Pascagoula then go to the state capitol of Jackson. He's 64 and his family is split whether he should run again. Some want him to stay and rebuild after Katrina, others think he should go back to Washington.

Interestingly, because of the hurricane damage to his home, trent says he needs more money then he could make in the Senate so he is contemplating making much more money by returning to Washington as a LOBBYIST. What a guy!
