Albany, N.Y. -- A Republican long shot vying to challenge U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton quit the race Wednesday, leaving two front-runners to battle over the party's nomination.

William Brenner, a tax attorney, said collecting the 15,000 signatures needed to make the Sept. 12 primary ballot was too expensive and daunting, given his business responsibilities.

I like Spencer, and KT is simply a kook.

It would help if the GOP could get a candidate that Hillary actually would care about and could recognise, so she would have to campaign as to what she is doing now, which is the equivalent of vacationining.

I think he has his eye on a bigger prize.

For some strange reason the headline reminds me of the Exorcist!
