Vilsack out...
It was a shock to me.
Gov. Vilsack already out of the Presidential race. Nearly eleven months before the first caucus, and he already decides he can not do it.
Personally, this really lowers my opinion of him. What changed in the four months since he announced. No amazing unseen new candidate announced. He did not pull a Biden and say something remarkably stupid. Instead, he maintained his low-profile ho-hum approach.
Of course, I did not think he could win. But did he really think in four months he would go from 2nd/3rd tier to top material? Especially, while everyone else announced?
Come on, you have to give it a better shot. Why end your politicial career on such a weak note. At least go down in flames on your home state's caucus night fighting the entire way.

Maybe it's a romantic way to say "I'm tired of this bull shit." This week Keelong mayor died and they would have to re-elect, which I see no point in doing it. I mean, why can't you have the vice take over the remaining 3 years? Sometimes election is a luxuary if you see how many resources put in to it; and those flags, handouts, equipment to put up speeches and campaigns can later be transferred to infrastructure backhander. Of course it is a shame to see people not able to keep on what they insist like old apologues says. But it takes courage to do what you think is right and be coward in front of public eyes.

I agree he thought he was right to get out. And perhaps I am giving a unfair shake about it. Still what made him think he could win four months ago, but not today.
