I think the new lobbying rules go into effect January 1. After that, there's a bit of a wait before a member of the Senate can go work on K street. I wonder if anyone else will do the math and realize if they're thinking about getting out, now is the time.

QED
Lott is leaving on 12/31, which, from what I'm reading, will force a replacement election within 90 days, whereas if he left on 1/1, they could just appoint a successor to serve through 2008.
