Rudy Giuliani announced this afternoon that he is formally withdrawing from the presidential race. Rudy had spent several months and millions of dollars in Florida, pinning his campaign on a strong showing there. Between his campaign’s financial trouble and last night’s third place finish sealed the deal, there was little chance of a recovery.
During his statement he also endorsed Senator John McCain, but the real news of the day is his withdrawal. Rudy’s endorsement may help McCain in New York, but that’s not a lock by any means and it will likely mean little otherwise.
Florida, you have my sincere gratitude for helping to bring Rudy’s self aggrandizing 9/11 rhetoric to an end.
In other news, Democratic candidate John Edwards also withdrew today.
