He never had a chance. No spine at all. He did help rid the senate of Daschle......and we thank him for that.

Hardly surprising......the guy is a total zero.....his announcement should be that he is finally admitting it. He stands for nothing.
To: Brilliant
Presidentially?
I agree.
But if he plays his card right, there'll be Tennessee's governors race in four years. It'll be an open seat then.
Four years is a long time but if he keeps himself visible, he'd stand a chance.

Frist was not very popular according to presidential polls. No great loss for RINOS!

I think it was the only thing he could do. You could have gotten his supporters in a phone booth. His tenure as the Senate Majority Leader confirmed that he was weak, and that he didn't have the leadership skills to lead the nation. He made NotaLott look like Daniel Webster by comparison.

A Republican senator hasn't been elected President since Warren G. Harding in 1920.
Good choice on his part.

Not that I was ever inclined to vote for him anyway.
Now we just have to reject the drive-by-media's choice of McCain vigorously.

Dear Frist,
Thanks for being a p*ssywhipped leader of the senate that squandered one of our best opportunities we have ever had.
