An article with the words "climax", "excited", and "Frist"?? Doesn't compute for me.
My gut tells me boring personas (plus his Senate record) make for lousy leaders.

Ha! Home state advantage didn't work for Al Bore...well perhaps it would have worked at a rat convention.
When I heard that Frist won and the straw poll was being held in his home state I thought, "Why is this a news story?"

The shocker of the evening was that Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney placed second . . . No doubt because left-leaning politicians from Massachusetts have done so well in recent national elections.

If Republicans want a repeat of 1996, then by all means they should nominate Frist.

That was a shocker...Romney's coming in second. Although he's a good speaker, appealing, handsome, must have said the right things. He's a very decent man, has had gun control/abortion waffling issues, and he's a Mormon -- fodder for
Dem. mudslinging. That's how Kennedy defeated him a while back when he ran for senate. Kennedy smeared him from one end of the state to the other as a polygamist. As for the polling, well, some of the big guns weren't there, like Guiliani, and McCain knew he was going to lose so made the best of things by having his guys vote for Bush. Such a loyalty. Are we impressed? Not as long as Ellen Ratner loves him.

Romney would be the same result.
It appears the RNC is willing to do ANYTHING to preserve the Great Society to try to buy votes for "our" side.

Frist couldn't organize a one-car funeral, let alone the Senate majority.......let alone a campaign and a presidency.
Here's a guy that really IS Ashley Wilkes.

Don't worry, neither Frist or Mc Cain will get the nomination. I like Allen except he's a Senator (better if a conservative governor appears strong - e.g. Barbour). Jeb is the best but his name will be a big hinderance.

Frist can't win. Is Dan Quayle busy?

Sounds like a repeat of 1996 to me. Who is running on a third party ticket?

Frist / Romney.. oh great.
Let's hope 2008 doesn't leave us with a stinker.

Jeb is the best but his name will be a big hinderance.Not if he's running against anyone named Clinton.
ESPN could do a year-long hype of the election. Maybe they could move rivalry Saturday to the first Tuesday in November. You'd have Army-Navy, Ohio State, Michigan, Bush-Clinton all on the same day.

Well Frist had an advantage.
He's from Tennessee and 40% of the delegates were from Tennessee.
Frist got 36.9% of the votes....couldn't even hold his own state together!!
Frist won't be President, count on it!
To: LouAvul
Bill Frist, the best friend a Democratic candidate for President ever had.
To: Paige
Limp Frist will NOT be nominated.
