Right. Because a footrace is a perfect analogy to an election.

Dirt Track Late Model and it works in this case.

No, it doesn't.

In a race, one car blowing a motor doesn't make the other cars run any better.

In an election, one candidate dropping out inherently means that one or more candidates are going to gain a higher percentage of the vote. That's inarguable.

So no, the analogy doesn't work.
