Republican U.S. Senate leader Bill Frist said he would not make a run for the White House in 2008 and instead return to practicing medicine."In the Bible, God tells us for everything there is a season, and for me, for now, this season of being an elected official has come to a close. I do not intend to run for president in 2008," Frist said in a statement.
"In the short term, I will resume my regular medical mission trips as a doctor around the world to serve those in poverty, in famine, and in civil war," he said. "I will continue to be a strong voice to fix what is broken in our health care system and to address the issues of clean water and public health globally."

Frist was a great disapointment as leader. Both parties will run against his record and the abuses in the earmarking and he would have had to defend it everywhere he went.
Gee ... why bother with medical trips? He could do all the diagnosing and treating from in front of his fireplace by simply getting some video tapes of the poor and sick.
