While I think Simon's act was definately the right thing to do, I like the guy and am sorry it had to come to this. And yes, it had to come to this.

Bill, thank you. I think you did the right thing. All the best to you and your lovely family.

I personally belive Simon did the right thing.

Having said that,and my personal feelings aside, if he were standing on the courage of his convictions that he should be governor, then he should have remained in the race. No matter what the polls were telling him. For the same reasons Pat Buchanan and Keyes run their races....based on the courage of their convictions depsite the probable outcome.
