I think its odd too. Frost holds his own pretty well here in Texas and if he can do that he could have appealed to the crossover voters who have recently swung GOP. He spearheaded the Democrat's efforts in the House in 2000 with some success.

I think the Democratic leadership was sorely mistaken in choosing Pelosi over Frost. Probably some stupid reason like not wanting to have a middle-aged white guy as the House leader to contrast the Bush team or something.

This unity over competition carp really aggravates me. It would have been a boon of free publicity if they held a competitive three-way race or at least a run-off vote.

Interesting. But still Frost had to agree with withdraw from the race. I just don't understand what it takes to convince a politician, who tend to be assertive and competitive by nature, to just step down when they finally get a real opportunity to win the race of a lifetime. I'm assuming there's lots going on behind the scenes. Wouldn't be surprised to see that Hillary does have something to do with this. But Frost still had to agree to step down. That bothers me.
