I was not an excited “Fredhead”, but he’d recently become my first choice, and only for the 2nd time ever*, I contributed some money to a political campaign. I don;t feel personally jilted like some do, but I am disappointed he dropped out so soon, w/o even waiting for Florida in a few days. There are even reports he could have picked up a substantial # of delegates in La. Sure, he was not going to win, but by staying in thru Super Tuesday he could have kept a higher profile on the issues by continuing to call it like he (we) see it in debates, and hopefully further impact the positions of the other candidates. that would have also made *our* support, once he dropped out, more valuabe/influential.
Dammit, he bailed a little too soon.
[* The first donation was Bush in 2004, but the GOP pissed me off by wasting most of my contribution on a million more expensive mailings asking for more money.]
