Low poll numbers and little money raised are the real reasons. But no matter the reasons this is the best news all year.

Wow... I live in San Jose and I missed that bit of news. Didn't Bill Clinton endorse him? If he did, I wonder who he'll back now.

Who, in their right mind, would want to be the next governor of a bankrupt state?

The state isn't bankrupt. Being in debt is not equivalent to being bankrupt.

No one, I'm sure. I doubt he and Jerry Brown will be kissing and making up anytime soon.

I think Clinton will be endorsing Tom Cambell or Meg Whitman.
