Nope, the Rinos are having an impact behind the scenes and apparently Frist has gotten the message. (Probably why he is disheartened and talking of not running for another term.)

See this link to article from yesterday on FR by ROBERT NOVAK and Townhall. Scroll to 2nd last paragraph.

All this refocusing is intended to set the scene for a bitter battle in next year's session of Congress. At that time, an effort may be made to rule out of order a filibuster against judicial nominations -- the "so-called" nuclear solution. This would require only 51 votes, but Frist does not even have that many today because of reluctance to tamper with the traditions of the Senate.

Time to take a baseball bat to the Senate's traditions. And to Sen. Frist's tenure as "Leader".
