Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack dropped out of the presidential race today, once again bringing up that ancient, unanswerable philosophical question: If a candidate drops out of the race in February of 2007, did he really "run for president in 2008"?
And speaking of non-favored candidates, there was a bit of a slip on Bill O'Reilly's show last night. Billo was going on about how there's now a "war within the Democratic Party" (isn't there always one?) between Hillary and Obama, and when putting forward who is on which side, Mr. O listed Bill Richardson as being on Hillary's side. Which must come as news to Richardson, as since he is running for president himself, he's presumably on his own side.
UPDATE: The curse of TNR strikes again!
