2008 Watch: Bill Frist is Running
In case it wasn't obvious before, Bill Frist is running for President. We alrerady know he is not seeking reelection this November, meaning he ceases to be a Senator and Majority Leader. This was indication #1.
He appeared at CPAC, though I don't think he enthused the crowd much. He is also going to be at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, which is supposedly "the new CPAC."
Now comes phase three of Frist's maneuvering: the repositioning for popular support. In the last few days (days only!) Frist has allied himself with both Hillary Clinton and Tom Tancredo, two political magnantes so opposite to each other that only someone trying to run for president would even be able to comprehend such a position. Frist is against the port deal, a popular opinion to say nothing more, but he has also come out in opposition to the president on illegal immigration. This allowed Smash Left-Wing Scum's tragically hilarious headline: "Sen. Bill Frist: I want to be Tom Tancredo when I grow up."
Welcome to the contradictory positions of presidential wannabes.
