Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist revealed over the weekend that he will not be running for Tennessee’s governor in 2010.

When asked if he was sitting out the race for a potential presidential campaign, Frist flattened that question with a flat no.  Instead Frist says he will be focusing on his continued teaching at Vanderbilt University as well as his private investment work.

This news opens the already crowded floor for the GOP’s gubernatorial nomination.  Governor Phil Bredesen will not be able to run again due to term limits.
