Duncans Withdraw

By AndrewHyman

E. Duncan Getchell has asked that his nomination for the Fourth Circuit be withdrawn. And, Duncan Hunter withdrew today from the GOP presidential race.

Speaking of withdrawal, it looks like Senator Fred Thompson did not get a very strong showing of support in the South Carolina primary today, so it will be interesting to see what Senator Thompson's next move will be. He's seen the other candidates up close and personal for months, so an endorsement from Fred would carry a huge amount of weight. He's been a good friend and ally of Senator McCain, but on the other hand Senator Thompson may view Governor Romney as a better presidential pick. Or, Fred may hang on a while longer. Then again, he may withdraw without endorsing anyone. I predict that one of those four things will happen. :-)
