Political Drop Outs

Two more candidates are announcing today that they are leaving the race.

Rudy Guilliani, no surprise here, is dropping out of the race after spending nearly 30 million in Florida and coming in a distant third. Its almost a good thing his campaign staff agreed to work without pay for the last couple months. Anyone who would give him the advice to not campaign at all in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, etc is not worth getting paid. Yes, Florida has more votes, but that was two months were he received almost no national attention. Primaries are becoming increasingly national and he seems to be the only one to not realize that.

Sorry Rudy. I guess its time to go back to taking way too much credit for your 'amazing' response during 9/11. I'll continue to give the credit to the first responders.

It appears I'll be spending my labor day weekend with either John McCain or Mitt Romney.

Sadly John Edwards also announced he will pull out merely hours after visiting Minneapolis St. Paul. Although he appeared to have no chance at winning, I appreciated his efforts. He had some good ideas, pushed the two front runners and kept his campaign above the belt, which I am very thankful for after some of the punches from Hillary and Obama.

I still can't decide who I support. Either way, it is exciting to say that the next Democratic nominee for President (and likely the next President) will be from a 'minority' class. Its about time America!
