Yes, the good doctor, who diagnosed Terri Schiavo via videotape (incorrectly, as you recall) and who is serves as a full-time puppet for the theocrats, became the frontrunner for the GOP in 2008 tonight:
With home-field advantage, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist placed first in an informal poll of 2008 presidential hopefuls at a Republican conference Saturday night.
The two-term Tennessee senator received 526 first-place votes, or 36.9 percent, in the Southern Republican Leadership Conference's "straw poll" sponsored by Hotline, a political digest. Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney finished second with 14.4 percent and Sen. George Allen of Virginia finished third, tied with President Bush - who cannot seek a third term.
