Going, Going, Gone

Fred Thompson does the smart thing and bows out after a lackluster campaign ends with a disappointing third-place finish in South Carolina.

What happened to all the conservatives who practically begged Thompson to join the race? Common sense would seem to think they jumped behind Mike Huckabee.

With the exit of Thompson and Hunter, the B-team Republicans are down to virtually nothing.

Somehow I think Al D'Amato will take way too much credit for Thompson's exit.
