Fred Thompson Drops Out

Confirmed by CNN. Hard to see him continuing after SC and it never seemed like he really wanted it, truthfully, until SC. If he endorses McCain, it seems like it would be over for the GOP (ironically, almost, since it has been more fluid than the Ds and Obama/Hillarah is still waiting for Super Tuesday).

McCain is running strong in Florida against Giuliani and Romney and, if he wins, not only will it will be the first "large state" contest he's won, but the second southern state he's won--making Huckabee a tough case to make, I should think. Particularly since McCain is polling so high in California and has already won in New England.

I suppose Thompson could endorse Giuliani, but I just can't see it. He's run a weak campaign and Biden's criticism of "a noun, a verb, and 9/11" hasn't proven to be too off the mark. Romney...that would be news if he threw support his way. Then again, Thompson could just sit back and wait a bit or just not endorse anyone. Who knows with this election?
