Fred Thompson has bowed out.
“Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people,” Thompson said in a statement.
The GOP candidate has begun calling friends, family members and supporters to tell them he’s ended his campaign, four months after he formally announced his White House bid. The momentum behind his delayed entrance into the race steadily diminished as his GOP rivals racked up victories in early test states.
Poll averages showed he went from second place nationally in early September to fifth this week.
Thompson left Nashville Tuesday afternoon for McLean, Va., where he is expected to make the announcement about his campaign as early as Tuesday night.

Yeah, just saw that. He was my Dem. favorite. I was pulling for him. But oh well, stuff happens.

Yesterday had some interesting results. Hillary and Obama are still fairly even - their national total votes are only separated by 80,000 votes. McCain showed that he is the clear front runner on the GOP side by picking up nine states.
This weekend I will be attending CPAC 2008 in Washington DC with the Penn State College Republicans. The agenda is filled with numerous interesting and big name speakers including Dick Cheney, Pres. Bush, McCain, Huckabee, etc. Also while I'm in DC, I will be joining the College Libertarians at their visit with Dr. Ron Paul at his office. Hopefully after some of these speeches I can bring back some interesting comments, insights, etc. from the GOP leaders.
