From today's New York Times story on Sen. Bill Frist challenging Trent Lott for the post of Senate Majority Leader:

Mr. Frist is also a relative newcomer, Republicans said, and his leadership skills are untested.

As leader of the Senate Republicans' campaing committee, Frist lead the party to a major win in the November elections, taking back control of the Senate when few analysts thought possible. I'd say he's been tested.
