Default Re: Run Dick Run - the 2008 question

Not doubting you, but what chance does Frist think he has if he's out of the public forum for 2 years?

Plenty. He does not have to shmooz the public, just the right Republicans in the right states (Iowa and NH). He is already starting this process.

Seriously, think about it. How many political figures outside of the public forum have gotten Presidential nominations? Bush in 2000 (versus a nationally known McCain), Clinton in 92 (vs a much better known Jerry Brown), Carter in 76 (no one outside of GA knew who he was)... none of these guys were visable to the entire country when they ran. Running for President is a targeted mission.
