Bill Frist: "season" is not right for Presidential bid.

The News media is reporting -- read a source here -- that Tennessee U. S. Senator Bill Frist, the outgoing Majority leader who was widely expected to run for the Presidency in 2008, has decided that this is not the Biblical season for him to do so. Dr. Frist announced that he will continue his overseas mission to provide free medical care for the poor and needy. Here is the announcement posted on his senate website. Notwithstanding, however, I conclude that Dr. Frist's change of mind came about for two reasons: 1) the mid term election results and its impact on Republican fortunes and, 2) a realization that it has become increasingly more difficult to be a righteous man in the political arena, hence his references to the Bible and God.
