Quitter: Bill Richardson. Pressing on: Ron Paul

Bill Richardson, admitting he is a wannabe leader in a field of three powerhouses (John Edwards, Barack Obama, and, of course, Hillary Clinton, sometimes called 'Hillary Rodham Clinton'). Ron Paul, however, is pressing on among the Republicans, undeterred by the challenge in front of him.

Unable to compete with the big girls and boys, Richardson officially is bowing out.

He could not afford to throw donor money in a lost, futile cause. "His impressive credentials" apparently impressed too few, and, realizing he was losing on every front, quit what he could not finish.
