This election looks interesting and up for grabs for anyone since McCain is rising in popularity, Huckabee was doing well, Romney was also doing well, while Obama and Clinton lead the Democrats. It will be an interesting Super Tuesday! -Shan
Fred Thompson quits presidential race
49 minutes ago Yahoo news
NAPLES, Fla. - Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson quit the Republican presidential race on Tuesday, after a string of poor finishes in early primary and caucus states.
"Today, I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States.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," Thompson said in a statement.
Thompson's fate was sealed last Saturday in the South Carolina primary, when he finished third in a state that he had said he needed to win.
In the statement, Thompson did not say whether he would endorse any of his former rivals. He was one of a handful of members of Congress who supported Arizona Sen. John McCain in 2000 in his unsuccessful race against George W. Bush for the party nomination.
