Thompson And Kucinich Quit

Just a quick news update.

Fred Thompson announced Tuesday that he is ending his White House bid after a poor showing in the do-or-die state of South Carolina.

This will probably help Huckabee because Thompson siphoned away many evangelicals and social conservatives from Huckabee in South Carolina. But this won't have all too much impact on the race.

Also, Dennis Kucinich decided to end his long-shot candidacy for the Democratic nomination earlier today. Seeing as he had a very small (yet loyal) base among Democrats, this should have no impact on the contest.
