And then there were nine. (Fine, John Cox, fine. Ten.)

Tonight Tommy Thompson, former Governor of Wisconsin and Secretary of Health and Human Services, ended his way-long-shot bid for the presidency. Phew. I didn’t know how many more awkward debate appearances I could endure. Thompson’s departure raises a question on all our minds: who’s next?

While I’d like to see a way-early exit by McCain, I think it’s safe to say we’ll say goodbye to Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter before Straight Shot John will close his campaign. On the Democratic side, I’ve already said it’s time for Mike Gravel and Joe Biden to give up, and I can’t say I’d cry if Kucinich quit. I love the energy and idealism that Chris Dodd brings to the debates – it’s a shame I just can’t see him as president.
