Bill Frist Video

When Democratic pundit James Carville and former Republican Senator and Majority Leader Bill Frist utter the same word simultaneously during a television showdown, Frist invokes the "Jinx" game, compelling Carville to buy him a Coke. With bottles of Coca-Cola in hand, the two spend the rest of the day enjoying the capital as political disagreements are temporarily forgotten.

more at www.theuptake.org Dwight Custer is an executive search consultant in Nashville, TN. He explains why our process for choosing a president has become more flawed, so the most qualified people for the job often stay out of the race. Newt Gingrich and Michael Bloomberg top his list of qualified leaders who would make excellent presidents, even Bill Frist. Al Gore, however, does not make the list. Mr. Custer describes himself as an Independent but is registered as a Republican in Tennessee, where you must choose (R) or (D). He's joined here by his daughter Susanna. Mr. Custer will likely support Mike Huckabee in the primary, and his daughter favors Mitt Romney. Watch for more interview clips from these two in the near future
