With yesterday's announcement that Bill Frist would not seek the Republican nomination for President in 2008, the Republican field of kredible kandidates got event smaller. In Iowa, John McCain and Mitt Romney are the clear front runners, but after them there isn't much of anything. ... In a few days the McCain campaign will announce that they hired every available staffer on the market, followed by Romney who will make a similar announcement. In a year where the presidency is up for the taking I would have thought there would be a larger field of 2nd tier kandidates, especially those of the konservative persuasion.
