Gov. Bill Richardson to drop out of Race says AP (Via Townhall.com
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ended his campaign for the presidency Wednesday after twin fourth-place finishes that showed his impressive credentials could not compete with his rivals’ star power.
Richardson planned to announce the decision Thursday, according to two people close to the governor with knowledge of the decision. They spoke on a condition of anonymity in advance of the governor’s announcement.
The Richardson campaign would not comment on the governor’s decision, reached after a meeting with his top advisers Wednesday in New Mexico.
I hate to see it, I hate to see this guy go. I believe he was one of the more qualified persons for the job. But he was shut out due to his lack to star power.
I wish Gov. Richardson all the best in future endeavors.
