I think Lott's folks are out there starting these attacks to scare conservatives away from Frist and further divide the party even more than Lott has already managed. Does Frist share all my beliefs - I'm sure not. Do I think he'll take a more pro-life agenda than the Dems would and get what he can through the Senate with Bush's help? Yes. The first legislative hurdle pro-life is PBA - I believe the Senate will eventually pass that with frist or any other GOP guy and bush will sign it. He certainly won't stop it - the issue polls well anyway and passed before except for a Clinton veto. As to the more controversial aspects of abortion, that will have to come through the courts anyway in time and Frist won't be blocking conservative judges. To summarize, he'll do at least as good as Lott, probably better, at passing what can be passed, and he won't be a reckless, weak idiot to boot. Frist isn't "my guy", but I have no problem if he gets ML.
