thompson exits stage left

So Thompson bows out this morning and for captain Mitt, this is great news. Remember, McCain is losing among pure bred republicans which make up the majority of Thompson voters so one could logically conclude that the Thompson following will be divvied up among Huckster and Romney. Huckabee is only a contender in the southern states, which leaves the new found free votes out west up for grabs. Making Romney's close second in the polls all of the sudden become a dangerous second chasing McCain with a new found vigour, and with legitimate money and not just hopes of money.

Thompson was one of the last to join the race and one of the first to drop out. Look out folks, the party just got interesting.
