Re: Update - Week of September 25th
Let me add that it's not just party leadership squabbles with Frist. The avid Republican constituency has been very frustrated with Frist for a variety of reasons.
Some are disgusted with the guy for not carrying the water well enough for the Bush administration. Others are very frustrated with his inability to drive judicial appointments. Some just want an outspoken leader to head the mantle rather than a deal-maker.
Either way, there is not a ton of love for Frist amongst red meat Conservatives, which helps give other Senators and House reps cover to push back on his wishes.
