Giuliani is out

According to FOXNews.com, Rudy Giuliani is going to quit the presidential race after his disappointing (yet predictable) defeat in Florida.

Giuliani suffered a disappointing evening in Florida, placing well behind McCain and Mitt Romney after repeatedly vowing he would win the Sunshine State. With 92 percent of the precincts reporting, McCain won 36 percent to 31 percent for Romney. Giuliani received 15 percent of the vote.

 

Giuliani’s campaign team was said to have immediately huddled after the voting was tallied to decide how to exit gracefully from the presidential stage and whether to endorse McCain.

 

The confirmation that Giuliani — once the national front-runner in GOP nomination fight — would endorse McCain, was an acknowledgement of what many had been saying all day: that his all-or-nothing strategy to take Florida had backfired and he no longer had the money or support to wage a multi-state campaign ahead of Super Tuesday on Feb. 5.

All I got to say to this is that it is about dang time. He should have quit after such an embarrassing finish in Iowa that left him even behind Ron Paul.
