    Default Tommy Thompson drops out of the race

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070813/...y_thompson2008

    Not a huge surprise here. He couldnt make any showing in the straw poll so he dropped out of the race. That means the Republicans are down a candidate. Not much has changed though. But now I dont have to abbreviate Fred Thompsons first name when talking about him as a candidate

    He will not be the only one. They will be dropping like flies soon enough


    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    A process which will mark the beginning of Ron Paul's rise to supremacy over the all the other candidates.

    Soon to be followed by the 95% mark.

    I know I'm dreaming, but wouldn't it be lovely?

    yeah!
