Frist would have to deal with the Senate curse. Yeah . . . but --
Why do senators have a hard time getting elected president? Is it because they don't project leadership? Or because they're self-important blow-hards who hang out in the world's most exclusive club? Is it because they only have contact with voters every six years?
I think if Frist were to run he'd lay out in a compelling fashion what a Frist Administration would look like, and what its priorities would be. His electoral success in Tennessee was staggering. He is a solid conservative. And he'll have the money to run a good primary campaign.

All of the above - basically they are too entwined in the Bowels of Washington.

My only problem with Frist is that we desperately need a Border Control candidate to run in 2008 and i don't think Frist is a Border Control candidate.
The only potential candidates that want Border Control are Owens and Sanford.
Everyone else is squishy on the issue.

Guys, Santorum is not Presidential.
