Bob Graham Dropping Out On Larry King Tonight?
Larry King just said Bob Graham was gonna be on in a few minutes with a major announcement.

He could be dropping out, perhaps?

:shrug:

1. it would be the right move
he's a good guy, but his campaign is flat. He's the oldest candidate we have and there is no enthusiasm about his campaign.


Still a chance he'll be the VP though.

4. he isn't presidential
He's genial old man, not strong war-time leader.

He'd make a great VP pick.

Okay, Graham is coming up next....

Keep us updated!

7. he's withdrawing...
Edited on Mon Oct-06-03 08:53 PM by Magic Rat
official

says he got a late start, can't be elected, 911 investigation, Iraq, ect, ect, couldn't get org. started.

Fundraising bad, no time to raise money across country.

Not endorsing anyone at this time. Thinks field is "excellent".

Sad. He's a good guy, there aren't too many of them in politics anymore.

14. Trouble with the money part,
said it was a very difficult decision, said that he would support whoever the Democrats pick for a nominee, Larry asked him about the leak and he said that it was a very serious matter, that it compromised our intel and security. Thinks that the recall is wrong.

13. I still love Bob Graham, he doesn't back away from BFEE
I think he should stay in the senate and fight from there, or be a VP. Thanks for raising your voice, Bob!

16. Cool, now if only the remaining 9 would...
Edited on Mon Oct-06-03 09:01 PM by stlsaxman
follow his example and stop tearing the Democratic Party to shreads by
constantly bashing each other and let the only real candidate, Al Gore,
take his rightful seat in the oval office... *ducking incoming flames*

just kidding...

Hopefully Bob will go headlong into reviving the 9/11 investigations...
one can only hope.

on edit: Graham is one of the greatest figures in politics. A sane man who
sees and speaks the truth always.... hope he runs for Senate again.
