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.
Amen. It was sort of fun while it lasted, but if it’s time for Joe Biden to get out, we’re overdue for Gravel’s departure.
in which year is joe biden running for president?

Sen. Biden Stresses Need To Focus On Darfur, Soviet Union, But U.S. First Needs To Remedy Iraq[Biden] explained the United States needs to focus more on the conflicts in Darfur and Sudan, revise nuclear policies and be wary of the “totalitarian tilt of the Soviet Union.”
“The totalitarian tilt of the Soviet Union”? Well-spoken, but clearly, Biden is confused. The weird thing is, it’s not the case that he misspoke and the press caught it. It’s that Biden’s blog pulled out this article in which the Senator seems to be very confused about what decade it is. What gives?
