Frist flopped...Fails Republicans.
This only proves that politicians are smarter than heart surgeons, as he was a much better surgeon.
To: Sub-Driver
I know he has said he is not running but besides Dick Cheney I don't see anyone out there that I could reeeeely get enthusiastic about in 2008...

The decision by the Tennessee senator leaves Sen. John McCain of Arizona, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani as the most nationally prominent DNC/MSM preferred contenders for the Republican nomination

Vice President Cheney. He won't run and he had been demonized by the press. But I like his style and conservatarian philosophy.

Actually, he seems like a nice guy. But he had no business in politics and did a really lousy job.
This is not exactly a big news story. But the real problem is, we don't have a decent Republican candidate. That has been glaringly obvious for the past six years, and the resolution isn't getting any clearer.
The story of the past six years has been which party could screw up worse, the spineless Republicans or the delusional Democrats. A race to the bottom.
Ugh. America has seldom needed a great leader more. Where the dickens is he? About the only solution I can see to this mess is a prayer campaign.

Frist's formal announcement was expected later in the day.
An announcement to announce that he's decided that he's going to make a formal announcement announcing that's he's not announcing his candidacy?

Now if we can just get Rudy and McCain to do the same--maybe we can find someone that the conservative base will support.

Actually, McConnell would have been much better. He knows how to play hardball. But he has all the charisma of a Popsicle stick. The Republicans erroneously thought that Frist had charisma. Not. He just has good hair.

And his bill that killled internet gambling may have lost a lot of Republicans the election. Many races were decided by a small plurality of votes, and a lot of people voted against this big brother overseeing of personal gambling. Frist's goodbye smooch to the casinos and Indian gaming - I hope it was worth it to him...
To: kellynla
I wish Cheney would run. Man, I hadn't even been thinking about him since he seems adamant that he isn't running. But, thinking of him as president compared to our current options is almost gut wrenching; milquetoast, the liberal mayor, the crazed senator, and a whole host of unknowns and not-known-enoughs.

He probably was "hand-picked" by the Bush WH and did the bidding of same.

I'm not a big Frist fan, but he was the moderate conservative alternative to John McCain and leftist Rudy Giuliani. So now it's all Romney's in that area.
I thought he quit the senate for the sole purpose of running.

Actually, I don't think there was any love lost there. He made nice with the White House but never really did it any favors.

LOL, as I said when voters surrendered power to the left on Nov 7th, who the hell would want run as a Conservative/Republican?
God help any fool who decides to run, his base of "supporters" will dump him with his first misspeak, wrinkled shirt or trip on the curb, or he could have mussed hair one day, an old friend in college who didn't measure up, a speeding ticket, a differing opinion on an issue or two, or he could like the color orange or something horrid.
No one in their right mind will run just to be thrown overboard at the first smear by the MSM giving him "baggage".
To: 3AngelaD
Perhaps but the WH folk definitely did NOT care at all for Trent Lott. Guess they thought he was "too independent."
Actually, I believe that Frist did exactly what the WH wanted even though it appeared not to be the case publically.

I like his foreign policy views, but I have no idea what his social/domestic policy leanings are.
