The Southern Republican Leadership Conference is in session. Hosted in Tennessee, the home for a presidential aspirant Sen Bill Frist, it was designed to ‘pick’ the next republican nominee (informally), as a warm up the the Republican Primaries in ‘08.
But McCain ’spoilt’ it (for whatever reasons – well, he might not be confident to win in, noting it was Frist’s home state), seeing that Bush is his lowest rating ever, by asking the delegates to write-in the name of President Bush, as a sign of support and unity for the ‘06 mid election. The result won’t be known till tomm, but what would be interesting to see is whether those write-ins will yield higher poll for THE president than the aspirants.
