The 2006 SRLC has just concluded in Memphis, TN at the famous Peabody Hotel. The big story coming out of it, is that Tennessee’s Senior Senator and the United States Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist won the straw poll, conducted by Hotline.

Here is the story out of today’s Tennessean.

1427 votes cast. Frist garnered 37%, Mass. Governor Mitt Romney 14%, U.S. Senator George Allen 10%, a George W. Bush write-in effort 10% with Arizona Senator John McCain and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee finshing up with respectable numbers.

Kudo’s to David and Nancy French for their efforts on behalf of Governor Romney. Nancy is a blogger and they have this website. Congratulations, Guys. I look forward to meeting you both someday down the road.

I am too busy to give much thought about 2008, however, I have seen polling with Condi, Giuliani and McCain. McCain is the only one beating Hilleary head to head.

In no order here is who I like.

I like Huckabee for many reasons, one he took over from Bill Clinton in Arkansas and improved it, he is a Southern Baptist Pastor, I like Senator Frist, I like John McCain, I like Mitt Romney, I Like Senator Allen, Senator Sam Brownback, NY Governor Pataki, NY Mayor Giuliani.

Ok, I like everybody, except the Democrats.
