campaigning for his Hillary's presidency is tiring. we understand.
I'm sorry, who?
(CNN) -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will quit the race for the Democratic presidential nomination after fourth-place showings in the campaign's first contests, sources said Wednesday.
Richardson, who served as United Nations ambassador and energy secretary in the Clinton administration, drew 5 percent of the vote in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.
He received 2 percent in last week's Iowa caucuses, far behind leading Democratic senators Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards.
"The numbers are the reason -- not enough votes and not enough money," a Democratic strategist involved in the campaign told CNN.
oh yes, I remember now.
Sorry Bill.
We hardly knew ye.
at least for me it is. : )
Clinton, the former first lady who finished third in Iowa, was mounting an unexpectedly stiff challenge to Obama in the nation's first primary. Interviews with voters leaving their polling places showed she was winning handily among registered Democrats, while her rival led her by an even larger margin among independents.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton moved out to a surprising lead over Sen. Barack Obama in the Democratic race.
She had 39 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary to 34 percent for Obama, who is seeking to become the nation's first black president.Clinton's performance, based on the early returns, surprised even her own inner circle.
About one-third said if Bill Clinton were running, they would have voted for him on Tuesday.
Clinton, for her part, retooled her appeal to voters on the run. She lessened her emphasis on experience, and sought instead to raise questions about Obama's ability to bring about the change he promised.
Hillary is going to take NY and California.
