I started the Deadpool 2008 earlier this month focusing on the candidates who drop out vs. the front-runners. Today, CNN is reporting that Bill Richardson is dropping his bid for the nomination after distant 4th place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire. I definitely understand why these candidates are dropping out, but if we stop to consider that less than 0.5% of the electorate has spoken, I can’t help but wonder if it’s too early to make the call.
Clearly it’s a money and time issue. I do appreciate that we’ve got some variety in the candidate pool this time. Now if only the coverage would focus on issues and plans vs. emotional showings from front-runners…Who’s next? Leave a comment and speculate.
