Seems like Frist hasn't been in the news for many months. Is he done?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

The people in my area, who are mostly megaRepublican shrub voters, are openly contemptuous of Frist and see him as a charisma-less loser with no potential for the Presidency.

1. He announced he wasn't running a few weeks after the election I believe.

So yep, he's done!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. Wow I completely missed that. Thanks though, LOL.

[rep the dems]

15. You're welcome. It wasn't very highly publicized. I wonder why...nt

[BuyingThyme]

2. He said he wasn't running.

3. Has he been dissected by cats yet?

Hey, the Daily Show said it, it must be true! :silly:

5. i heard that he was thinking of running for governor, don't ask me where i

heard it because i can't remember.

6. I would assume it'd be TN, since that's their family home base.

[AlCzervik]

7. yes, sorry i should have included that.

8. I heard the same thing...

...in 2010.

9. What he's going to try and wait it out until everyone forgets he's a loser, then run for prez?

10. delaying his aspirations per the "only a gov can be elected"?

Given his penchant for showing his serious flaws when he is in the spotlight - the man would only further ruin his chance for the presidency. Odd thing, but he really does seem to believe that he is "destined" to be president. He can't read the writing on the walls that he is really destined to be a politcal footnote and has-been.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. I wonder if friends/advisers ever tell people like this "um dude, forget about it."

"You just don't have it."

[salin]

12. Probably - but they just don't believe it.

And keep seeking out sycophants who validate their beliefs of self-granduer.

13. One incredibly disconnected pol, even for a Republic

good riddance
