Frist Says No to '08 WH Bid

In what may be Bill Frist's first politically-savvy move since becoming Senate Majority Leader, the retiring senator from TN has announced that he will not be running for president in 2008. After managing to somehow alienate just about everyone in the GOP (see Schiavo, stem cells, judges, Bolton, immigration, "blind" trusts, &c. &c. &c.), Frist's niche constituency was approaching zero, so he is wisely getting out while the gettins' good.
