The Chafe pulls out, Hillary surges, and The Bern cools down just a bit
By Mona Goldwater, Democratic Primary Ed.
This morning, ex-Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee pulled the plug on his long, long, long-shot bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. On the Democratic side, his candidacy was possibly the most puzzling one of all.

Jim Webb dropped out, Vice President Joe Biden declined to run, and she successfully underwent hours of testimony on Capitol Hill, and in the end mostly came out smelling like a rose, while the committee looked like petty buffoons.

Photo: JFK on the campaign trail (1960)
By Jack Brummet
There have been some pathetic turnouts for Republican rallies and speeches recently, especially among the second tier candidates. Rick Santorum gave a speech recently at which one person showed up. Here is a shot of the 1960 Presidential election winner, early in the primary season.
