As do conservates and the country. Frist has a lifetime ACU rating of 88, and higher in the last couple of years.

Why do you suppose Nickles didn't run? Was Lott perhaps held up as an example?

Al D'amato considers Frist a "moderate."

[Wright is right!]

"As do conservates and the country. Frist has a lifetime ACU rating of 88, and higher in the last couple of years."

Frist will be the new ML. He is virtually unbashable, has ZERO baggage, is conservative BUT moderate ENOUGH to keep Chafee in line. And the Media has been kind to him.

This is another in the long string of black eyes for the Dems and the Media, who overplayed their hand and got exactly what they asked for. Their Issue Box has just been emptied.

And guess who once again was misunderestimated? Mr. Strategery.
