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.
"I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort," Thompson said. "Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people."
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.
Dammit. There goes the last chance I have of actually voting FOR a Presidential candidate rather than against the other one...
I think I'm gonna write in Cthulhu in November. Why vote for the lesser of two evils?

This is so disappointing. Can I hope he could at least be VP? Please?
You don't have to write it in. Hillary's already running.
Oh, lord, we're going to be left choosing between McCain and Romney, aren't we?
I won't just hold my nose, I'll probably throw up in my mouth a bit when I pull that lever.
Why couldn't Fred have run a competent campaign?
Heh.
Great minds & all that.
Check the title of my post...
LOL - we had the exact same reaction.
Damn, I feel the same way kid.
