Was Trent Lott ever rumored to be a candidate for President in 2000?

Question

I'm looking for any web pages that might have discussed Lott running for president or vice-president in 2000. Thanks!

Answer 1

There may have been a rumor, but I could find no evidence of an actual try for the post.

1. Wiki does not mention it.

2. The article below, from early 2000, shows Lott endorsing Bush. There is no mention of a failed try by Lott.
