Name a strong leader. Inhofe? And how would he have controlled McCain?

Frist did his best. He had 48 votes.
The democrats stuck together.

Graham defied his state and it was payback time for SC primary 2000.

DeWine, Warner, and Graham might pay a price. The other three are home free.

McCain isn't up for reelection again until 2010.

Frist had the votes before McLame went behind his back andx peeled off a few RINOS.

The Dems ALWAYS stick tohether, but prior to this coup de tat, LIEberman was on board with the GOPers, to vote for the nuclear option.

Unless First suddenly growns a spine, not a one of the gang of 7, will feel any repercussions from Frist.
