CMB Is Supposed To Withdraw Today...

[arwalden]

How does a candidate decide when it's time to get out? Is it based on polling numbers or how much money they have left? (Or how much/little contributions are being made?)

I'm convinced that she knew long ago in her heart that she could not win... but I think she made a VERY VALUABLE contribution to the process and she helped to bring up issues that were important to her and to a lot of her admirers.

Good On Ya, Carol! Thanks very much for all you did!

2. She didn't want to get "0%" of the Iowa vote

who can blame her? She has a nice smile though. I'll miss her kinda.

3. I'm sorry Carol is withdrawing.

Sadly, she's deeply in debt, and had no foreseeable prospects of getting out of it if she stayed in. on the plus side, I'm thrilled that she's decided to endorse Gov. Dean. :)

4. Sorry she had to make that decision and sorry she withdrew.

I would have preferred she endorse Clark, of course (wow! what a surprise that I support Clark!) but she has to follow her conscience and her best opinion of what best serves America.

If/when Clark is in the White House I hope he reaches out to CMB and offers her a position in the new administration, and I hope she takes it. I can't believe we've heard the last of her, not at all.

Good luck Carol in all you undertake.
