The instant pundit wisdom is in on Bill Frist's decision not to run for President, and it holds that the move is most beneficial to Mitt Romney, the Boston Globe reports. The decision "relieves Romney of a potentially formidable rival for the Christian conservative vote, particularly in the South," the paper says. "Romney, who has aggressively courted Christian conservatives, is now poised to become a strong contender among a constituency typically skeptical of Northeastern candidates -- especially one from the liberal Bay State, analysts said."

As conservative activist Gary Bauer tells the paper: "I think conservatives generally, not just Christians, are searching for that candidate that can compete on the same level as McCain and Giuliani." According to the Globe, that candidate may well be Romney.

"I've decided I am going to run" for President, Joe Biden says in a taped interview scheduled to air tonight on Boston's NECN-TV, according to the Boston Globe. Biden made a similar comment to ABC News earlier this month.

In the Boston interview, interestingly, Biden also says he'd be surprised if Barack Obama seeks the Presidency, the Globe reports. Biden previously suggested he might run on CBS' Face The Nation in 2005, saying: "If, in fact, I think that I have a clear shot at winning the nomination by this November or December, then I'm going to seek the nomination."

Meanwhile, Senator Bill Frist has now ruled out a run for the Presidency. His formal announcement is set for 1 P.M. today.
