Lott's Senate Replacement Sworn In

01-22) 08:42 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday swore in Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., to replace retiring Sen. Trent Lott.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour appointed Wicker to succeed Lott on Dec. 31.
Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., escorted Wicker to the well of the Senate as Cheney opened session with a two-minute swearing-in ceremony.

Wicker, 56, will serve until a state-mandated special election is held Nov. 4 and is a candidate in that race. The winner will serve out the remainder of Lott's term, which runs through 2012.
Wicker was elected to the U.S. House in 1994 to succeed the late Rep. Jamie Whitten. He has been re-elected six times from the 1st District in north Mississippi.
Lott was the Republicans' vote-counting whip in the Senate before he resigned Dec. 19. That ended a congressional career of 16 years in the U.S. House before moving to the Senate in 1988. He ruled out any health concerns, but said it's time for a younger voice to represent Mississippi in the Senate.
Barbour said the recovery and the renewal of south Mississippi after Katrina remains the highest priority for state government and added that Wicker did yeoman's work as a member of the House Appropriations Committee.

An attorney, Wicker said hurricane recovery would continue to be a top priority in the Senate.
Also on the special election ballot for the Senate seat are former Rep. Ronnie Shows and former Mississippi Gov. Ronnie Musgrove, both Democrats. Candidates will run in special election without party labels.
Mississippi's attorney general, Jim Hood, has filed a lawsuit challenging the timing of the special election. Hood contends Barbour should have set the special election much earlier in the year than the general election.
