Doesn’t he get to keep all the campaign contributions that were collected but not spent up to this point?

So he’s dropping out because he knows if he spends the millions on an election where he is sure to fail, he’s a loser and broke!

Get thee to a wooden church.
Step One: Apologize to the Bishop and admit he’s right.
Step Two: Go away
Step Three: Retire his fellow heretic Rep. Patrick Murphy from Bucks County, Pa.

If a Democrat can't win a safe seat in Rhode Island this year, no Democrat anywhere in the country is safe. That ought give Queen Pelosi incentive to hit the pause button!

I was at a Tea Party meeting last night, came home and saw this on TV.

I would imagine he isn’t running so that he can go for long term treatment for his “problems”: six months to a year at Hazelden for this addict! Oh, look: My pet pig just burst into song and then flew out the window!

Must be that he just read the “swimmer’s” will, and now realizes that he get by nicely without working a day in his life, from birth to death!

Wasn’t it just a few days ago this nitwit was deriding Brown’s victory in Mass as a “fluke”?
