The "Democrats 2008" on the lower part of the DU homepage is funny,

[swag]

since Biden and Dodd have dropped out and Gore, of course, was never running in the first place.

[DutchLiberal]

1. What were the reasons they gave for dropping out?

I expected Dodd to drop out, but I thought Biden would stay in the race longer.
Did Mike Gravel drop out?

2. Gravel is still in, I think.

My sense is that Biden dropped out because he didn't qualify to participate in the NH debate.

[DutchLiberal]

3. That's a shame. The preconditions to participate in that debate were artificial fabrications of MSM

to keep certain voices out of the race. Biden makes more sense than Obama, Edwards, HRC and Richardson combined.

[gateley]

4. Well, you'll get no argument from me on that!
