No, I'm not talking about Iraq -- I'm talking about the US Presidential primary races. Right now there are some 20-odd candidates vying to be the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates in the 2008 election. That's only two spots, guys, so most of you are going home disappointed.

By all accounts, less than half of you can be considered front-runners by any stretch of the imagination. That means more than half are seriously dreaming.

Now, I'm all for chasing down your dreams and such, but we're at the point when most of you fringe candidates should be packing it in. (You know who you are...) Anybody polling in the single digits in Iowa, New Hampshire, and other early primary states should just face up to reality and drop out. You're just wasting valuable press time that could be devoted to important issues like what Obama looks like in a bathing suit and where Giuliani's second wife went to grammar school. The American people need time to climb up every orifice of every candidate, and you're just getting in the way.

"Cut and run" has been promoted heavily by many of our finest leaders, including some of you, so it's time you guys took it to heart. It's in our best interests, isn't it?

(Pick your favorite Republican and Democratic candidates.)
