In a front page story in Sunday's Clarion Ledger incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran indicated he is undecided on whether he will run for another term in 2008. In an interview with the state's largest newspaper Cochran, who is outgoing Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, indicated disappointment in being able to get only 2 bills passed in the current session because Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee was "slow to move them to the Senate floor". Cochran described the GOP decision to shift the burden of approving the budget to Democrats in January as "baseless" and indicated that he has a good working relationship with the incoming Appropriations Chairman Sen. Robert C. Byrd.
