Hey Gary, I initially felt the same outrage as you did. But after sleeping on it and cooling off abit, I think Frist will get stronger in the long run over this. The true conservatives in the senate were with HIM, not McCain. I don't think he will hesitate to pull the trigger if need be on the next go round. He only needs 2 of the stray RINOs to get it done.

We do get the 3, without having signed away any "right to fight" in the future. I do believe that Frist is preserving his options and that he does have the will to fight this to the end.
