Three Presidential Candidates Bite The Dust

Last month, I pondered just who would run for President. Like others, I concluded Al Gore might be our best bet. And I liked the guy. Alas, this week he seemed to pretty specifically rule out a run for the White House. Scratch Al Gore from the list.

We can probably scratch off Governor Jeb Bush's name. Someone put the stinkeye on the Bush clan. I don't think the Bush brothers could take a city council seat right now.

Dr. Frist's ethics issues seem likely to eliminate him as well. There are rumors afoot concerning at least two more of the people on this list too.

Democrats Still Standing
Senator Evan Bayh
Ex-Gen. Wesley Clark
Senator Hillary Clinton
Ex-Senator Tom Daschle
Senator John Edwards
Senator Russ Feingold
Governor Bill Richardson
Governor Mark Warner
Senator John Kerry
Senator Joseph Biden


Republicans Still Standing
Ex-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich
Ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani
Senator John McCain
Governor George Pataki
Governor Tim Pawlenty
Governor Mike Huckabee
Ex-Governor Mark Racicot
Governor Mitt Romney
