And then there were nine

Florida senator Bob Graham has dropped out of the democratic primaries, leaving nine candidates. The Graham campaign never really got going, and his rhetorical attacks on Bush, fully as fiery on the page as anything Dean says, came out flat when delivered by a speaker with the fire and passion of a toaster oven. As usual, Scrappleface had it right a few days ago:

Senator Bob Graham, D-FL, announced today that he has been running for president for several months. The news came as a surprise to many Democrats.
