Give Up, Dennis - An Open Letter

Dear Dennis,

It's time to give up the race for President. Three separate sets of voters have weighed in...and you are not their candidate. Your national poll numbers consider to be exceptionally low, and that fire-brand of a candidate 'Uncommitted' beat you by 10 times your votes in Michigan last night.

We don't really appreciate your attempts to get in on the Democratic debate. Some of the people have spoken, and they have resoundedly rejected you. When all of the people have spoken, they will too have resoundedly rejected you. Who are we kidding?

In an election where John Edwards is struggling to get a look in with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama proving such attractive candidates, you know this isn't your time. Let's face it Dennis, if you were really cut out to be President you'd hold much higher office than a Congressman from Ohio. You just aren't compelling property. Back in 2004, your candidacy made sense - you were against the War and the Democratic Party needed to hear from you. But this time, they don't.

You fail to bring anything to the race and you wouldn't make a better President than either Senators Clinton or Obama. MSNBC don't want you in the debate because they, and yes us as well - it isn't just the media conglomerates - want to hear more from the candidates we like. We don't want to hear from the ones we don't care about.

Maybe if you were a Republican, you'd be able to at least win a primary - they're throwing out victories so fairly you would have thought it was Communist China.

Please stop. We'll think better of you if you do.

Kind Regards,

98% of the people.
