Yes, that is probably all very true, but one thing i don't hear being addressed is can he actually ...lead? None of us have any evidence so far that he is a leader, or is capable of being one.being telegenic and personable and consservative is terrific, yet can he get votes and push legislation through and does he know the rules well enough to run the Senate?

These are big, unanswered questions about Bill Frist.There is lots of hope,but hope is no substitute for experience.

It won't take long to find out how good he is at cutting deals, greasing the skids, playing the nuances of the rules, back slapping, etc. He'll be tested very quickly on some little mundane something just to see how he reacts, imo. But then if nothing gets done that's not all that bad either as it keeps the legislative crap from getting and higher/deeper.

He did a pretty good job working on the senate election this year .. we got the majority back ..

You can take that one to the bank.

This guy retrieved the Senate for the Republicans (in spite of overwhelming odds against it), and you wonder if he can lead?

Get real.

Time will tell. If he's as good as he was at leading us to a Republican senate victory in the mid-terms, he will be fantastic.
