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.

Two candidates did, however, promise a complete troop withdrawal in the debate, Christopher Dodd and Bill Richardson. Its very curious that the top three make no guarantees.
