Frist Sees The Light

Is it political or is it political? Did Frist first denounce stem cell research because he was pandering to the far right, or is he now pandering to the moderates because the far right is not in Bush's corner as much lately? After all, there has been talk of Frist running for President in 2008. Any way you slice it, he was not suddenly overcome with critical thinking ability and some sort of new information that would cause him to flip flop. What an obvious ploy to place him in a better position come 2008.
