October 07, 2003It's Official: Graham's OutBy Byron LaMastersHis official statement is here. We all sort of knew that this was coming. It was just a matter of time. So who does this help? Well, Graham was only in the low single digits. I think that his withdraw helps Dean, Clark and Edwards the most. Like Dean and Clark, Graham is anti-war, like Dean, Graham was a former governor, and like Edwards and Clark, Graham is a southernor. Still, the effect of his withdraw is rather minimal, since Graham was polling poorly anyway. Most of the support that would have naturally gravitated towards Graham was absorbed by Dean and Edwards before Graham got in the race. Clarks entry into the race made things even more difficult for Graham, and he knew it. Regardless, lets all hope that Graham runs for re-election to the US Senate so we won't have to worry about defending his seat. Howard Dean has a good statement about Graham's withdraw. Update: John Edwards and John Kerry have also issued statements on Graham's withdraw. Posted by Byron LaMasters at October 7, 2003 12:39 AM | TrackBack

and Hillary's in? Bringing the total back to 10, maybe? Posted by: kerry at October 7, 2003 11:13 AMJames Taranto has also issued a statement on Graham's withdrawal: Sen. Bob Graham has withdrawn from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. "I'm leaving because I have made the judgment that I cannot be elected president of the United States," Graham said. Somehow the candidate is always the last to know. Sure, we still have Al Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich to provide comic relief, but somehow Graham's goofiness was special, perhaps because the contrast between his excruciatingly dull personality and the deranged statements coming out of his mouth was so striking.
